Thanks to Amit Agarwal for his post on how to embed an mp3 using Google Reader’s player.
The Google Reader player has volume control,auto-detects the song length, and has a time slider for jumping around in the track.
The code for the player is:
“<“embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=MP3_FILE_URL” width=”400″ height=”27″ allowscriptaccess=”never” quality=”best” bgcolor=”#ffffff” wmode=”window” flashvars=”playerMode=embedded” /”<“
Removing the quotes around the <
Replace MP3_FILE_URL with the link to your mp3 file.
This adheres very well to the K.I.S.S. principle, or the Fischer Price principle. Which ever you want to call it.
