Hey,

On my site i have currently got windows media player to play an embedded wma file

Code:

<object id="MediaPlayer" height=46 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">

<param name="filename" value="Windows XP Startup.wma">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="Windows XP Startup.wma" name="MediaPlayer"></embed>

</object>

That's my current source code for it

ideally i would like to make it have the playlist option so on the playlist they can double click which songs they would like to listen

Is this possible

Cheers

Lolium

P.s, would it be possible for people who view the web page to browse the directory were the audio files will be kept? so they can choose which song to play??

If you use this method (embed windows media player in html), it means all your visitors must be using MSIE on Windows platform in order to listen the music file correctly. This might not work for everyone. You might consider convert your wma file to MP3 then play it using a flash music player, which can be supported on multiple browsers and different OS.
