Re: MediaPlayer
Rick I have been playing with QuickTime and I think I can get it to do everything I (or you) want. Currently I an using the browser plugin a popup window. I also have been able to use the QT Player desktop app. You can select a song (or movie) from a browser page. You can play it inline, in a popup or in another frame. You can do this in such a way that the songs/movies cannot be easily copied or saved. You can select another song and it will kill the current song and start the new one. Or you can build a playlist of up to 256 songs -- give QT the playlist and it runs on its own. Or you can use _javascript_ to manipulate the player/plugin and songs/movies within the active playlist. I don't understand all I know about this yet but there is a lot of neet things you can do -- For example a movie can have commands embedded within the movie.These communicate with the plugin/player which, in turn, communicates with the _javascript_ in your web page vice versa. To take this even further, the movie, can be wired and have hotspots -- so the user can click on the move and cause all sorts of things to happen. I don't how much of this applies to mp3, yet. But it appears that QT is a little media server that you can easily control from a web page with _javascript_ or Flash. I'll try to have something to demo later today. Right now I have a semi-hard coded 2 song then repeat playlist and it gets a little tedious. Dick The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. - Andrew S.

Re: MediaPlayer
Rick Apple has just started shipping their Airport Extreme / AirTunes system.I got mine last Thursday. http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/airtunes.html It is a little Airport (wireless) router that can connect to a stereo as well as to a LAN the internet, So, from any computer in the house, you can play (wireless) your iTunes tracks on your stereo. Rumored that the next version iPOD dock will have this capability. I don't (yet) know how to implement this, but it is something to consider for any web Jukebox application.

Re: MediaPlayer
Rick,
I would look into using WM9 as opposed to WM7 (fairly wide distribution,
so it shouldn't be much of a stretch.) MS has full documentation for
control in the SDK, and an active forum on their developer's site, which
may give you the information you need. If I had a little more time I
would try to research this for you, but I can tell you from experience
that the WM9 codec is much better than the WM7 codec, with better
compression and less loss.

Re: MediaPlayer
Rick It would also be worth supporting Quicktime.Apple has a new codec that supports higher quality video at lower data rates.Steve demoed it by doing a video chat with 3 concurrent participants displayed on the screen. http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/h264.html Dick On Jul 20, 2004, at 3:50 AM, Cutter (CF-Talk) wrote: Rick, I would look into using WM9 as opposed to WM7 (fairly wide distribution, so it shouldn't be much of a stretch.)

RE: MediaPlayer
Dick, I know you're a big Mac guy, but some of us dislike Quicktime. I don't know how many times I've installed it and try to tell it not to change my filetype associations, but it does anyway somehow. I hate having it installed on my PC. Sometimes I have to install it to watch something important, but I always uninstall it. WMP is much more civilized.

What is the CF_Nuke portal?
I written a simple CFprogram that:
1) Parses my iTunes Library.xml file
2) creates a structure of playlists and tracks (songs)
3) servers that to a browser.
4) The User selects a playlist and then selects a track
5) a window pops up and the song plays in via the quicktime plugin.
The quicktime plugin provides all the controls.
That said, it works differently in different browsers -- and I have a
problem that sounds similar to yours.
When a song finishes, I must close the popup before another can open
andanother song can play.
I haven't spent much time on it lately, but plan to resolve this with
_javascript_ or a Java applet.
BTW, It plays movies too,
Maybe we can help each other.
