It seems I posted too quickly. I found a two very small, very hard-to-find bugs on the XSPF player, but there nonetheless. I fixed those, and also added a few extras while I was at it. Mainly scroll wheel use. Which doesn’t work all the time. Weird. But not important. Also changed the Volume and Timebars to use the regular cursor. Makes it look more professional. If anyone knows about the mouse wheel, I’d be interested. Here.
I’ve been messing around with Amazon API with different types of dynamic searching. So far the coolest thing I have found is Mario Klingemann’s AmazonExplorer at Quasimondo.com. I used the API to conquer my lack-of-time problem with finding artist pictures for every band in my XSPF player. I put the picture viewer back into the player, and loaded just one URL into each track for a cool graphic, that had nothing to do with the band. Now the player automatically queries Amazon and inserts the most likely image for that band in the player. See it Here.
I discovered yesterday the XSPF Web Music Player, made by Fabricio Zuardi: a clean looking, playlist based music player that loads from XSPF (XML Shareable Playlist Format) playlists. It contains alot of the items I have in my Jukebox Player, give and take a few. I decided I could give the dreary looking player a little boost, so I did. I added a clickable and draggable timeplace bar, Shuffle and Random buttons, an alphabetize playlist option, and a few extra start options. I also cleaned up his code a bit. However, I took out the picture viewer because as of now I don’t like having to insert each URL manually. I can’t post the code right now because of possible copywright infringements. I’ll have to check later.
