Songlist with mp3 player

[sectoroverload2k]

What is Songlist?
Well it's a PHP and MySQL generated list of songs and mp3 files that have been added and/or uploaded to your site.

What can this Songlist do?
It displays a list of song names, based on their name or id. Mp3 files that have been uploaded have the option of being available to be clicked on to play or listen to the song with the built in player (uses quicktime). Songs have the ability of not being visible on the list, not being available for playing even if uploaded, or only showing the available ones on the songlist!

(this module was designed specifically for this site, but will work in any site)

Haven't installed it though, but you module looks very nicely developed. I will add it to the list of modules a.s.a.p.

nice module and it is well developed, very clean
only issue i see arising from this is my bandwith limit

Hi. Can anyone tell me what values to use in settings? I tried [song_id] [name] [song] and get zilch. There is no default html in there and the thumbnails in the completed modules section don't link to full sized images so I couldn't figure it out.

Oh, and can anyone tell what would be involved in playing wav files with this player? I am thinking about using this for a small sound effect library and many are wav files.

[bupaje]

Ok, I sort of got everything except the popup -I can figure the rest out myself.

[bupaje]

I see in the code save.php that it says 'make sure file is wav or mp3' -should this play wav? In my case I get an error message 'file must be mp3' despite what it says there. If there is an easy way to get it to play both that would be great.

Hi sectoroverload2k,

looks great.  Can I add a couple of ideas to the mix: 

- add an option to show file size in parentheses next to the song title
- add an option to show file type
- add an option to show download link

Thanks and cheers,

Isabel

Sorry guys, as of right now, it doesn't NOT play wav files. I originally thought about playing them, but i decided to take out that feature because of the unusually larger file sizes compared to mp3 files.

if you want to add wav support, change that line in save_song.php from

Code:

// Make sure the song is a wav or mp3 file
if(!($fileext == "mp3")) {

to:

Code:

// Make sure the song is a wav or mp3 file
if(!($fileext == "mp3" || $fileext == "wav")) {

the above change will only allow you up UPLOAD the wav files. after uploading, the file will be saved as a .mp3, which may or may not cause problems in the songplayer because the ".mp3" extension is hard coded thoughout the module.... sorry about that guys! 

good luck.

[bupaje]

Thanks for the explanation -that's ok, still a great module. I guess I can always convert the wav to mp3.

Ack, bupaje! You figured this out and left the rest of us in the dark! What do I need to put in settings in order to get the module to work? It would be really nice if it had some default code that we could tweak, rather than having to scratch in the dark blindly. I have no idea what to do... seems rather incomplete.

[bupaje]

I have this module disabled currently and don't remember exactly what I was tripping on but here is a shot of my settings page for it if that helps.

Thanks, Bupaje! That's perfect, I just needed enough code to figure out how to get the songs to display. I can tinker from there. 

[rabsaul]

Bupaje (or any other Songlist users), can you tell me if you had uploading difficulties with this module? It keeps timing out, and I'm not detecting other difficulties with my server. It's the sort of concept I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it as is.

[bupaje]

No, I had no other problems installing it -sorry.

[rabsaul]

Thanks, I've had numerous problems all the way thru with this particular install of WB. Maybe it's because it's on an add-on domain, I don't know. I've always previously installed on my reseller account, but I have so much space on my personal account, I thought I throw some more stuff there.

Maybe not....

[rabsaul]

Bupaje, something looks funny there...

Your code for Available Loop looks like this:
 
<a href="[LINK]"]" onClick="return popup(this, 'song')">[NAME]</a>

Am I right in thinking that you shouldn't have an unmatched (unopened) closing bracket?

[bupaje]

You are right. I think it worked when I tried it anyway -but it shouldn't have.

Hi Everyone,

Did someone figured out how to upload files... Modify some file(s) manually and create a list at that way???

Adding songs one by one is very time consuming...

Thanks in advance.

Instead of using this module, I've added a Flash player that does what you're talking about.
http://markpearsonmusic.com/music.html]http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_MP3_Player

Just edit a simple XML file and FTP everything to the site.
http://markpearsonmusic.com/music.html

That opens the jukebox on the top of the page. I set it for autoplay. That can be turned off.

The individual songs lower down on the page use the MP3 Flash Player, which I paid for

I've also used another shareware flash player, Wimpy button at

It won't work until you configure the display settings. See the conversation above.
