A Playlist with a Flash reader (Annuaire du Vin)

A Playlist with a Flash reader

I use a Google Gadget to insert within Google Sites, a Flash Playlist. We can also use a specific Flash Player for Deezer.

URL of the gadget :

flash_playlist.xml

Using a Playlist with XSPF Web Music Player

XSPF Web Music Player is a flash-based web application that uses xspf playlist format to play mp3 songs. XSPF is the XML Shareable Playlist Format. I use the Extended version.

File parameter

Download the xspf player from musicplayer.sourceforge. Use the URL of the player and the URL of the xspf playlist separated by a question mark. You can add autoload=true to play song as soon the page is loaded.

Important : The MIME type of the xspf file must be application/xspf+xml.

We can then construct the File parameter of the Gadget :

http://YOURSITE/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=http://YOURSITE/YOURXSPFPLAYLIST.xspf &autoload=true

My Playlist : xspf_playlist.xspf

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<playlist version="0" xmlns = "http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
