To install: script/plugin install git://github.com/GavinM/mp3_player.git

To setup: rake mp3_player

This adds ‘player.swf’ to public/ and creates a new folder called audio for storing all of your audio files.

Make sure all your audio files are stored in public/audio or change the AUDIO_PATH constant in lib/mp3_player.rb

To play an mp3 file called mysong (public/audio/mysong.mp3) simply add <%= mp3_player(“mysong”) %> to your view.

You might find it easier to manage your files if you name them after the id of your model record.

Below is a list of the extra options you can specify:

(All colors should be expressed as hexadecimal values minus the ‘#’. eg. :bg => “99FFFF”) | :width | width of the player when open in pixels, defaults to 290 | | :id | id of the div wrapping the player, defaults to “#{track_name}_player” | | :class | class of the div wrapping the player, defaults to “mp3_player” | | :bg | background colour, defaults to “BBBBBB” | | :left_bg | background colour of the left tab, defaults to “AAAAAA” | | :right_bg | background colour of the right tab, defaults to “AAAAAA” | | :right_bg_hover | colour of the right background as the cursor hovers over, defaults to “EEEEEE” | | :left_icon | the colour of the speaker icon on the left, defaults to “222222” | | :right_icon | colour of the play/pause icon on the right, defaults to “222222” | | :right_icon_hover | colour of the play/pause icon as the cursor hovers over, defaults to “222222” | | :text | colour of the text, defaults to “222222” | | :slider | colour of the slider bar, defaults to “333333” | | :loader | colour of the loaded data so far, defaults to “DDDFFF” | | :track | colour of the track on the slider, defaults to “888888” | | :border | colour of the buffer border, defaults to “333333” |
