Introduction

What does it do?

Wordpress has the most effective flash based in-line MP3 player called 1pixelout ( http://www.1pixelout.net/ ) written by Thomas Laine. Although an API implementation exists for this plugin in typo3 (EXT:audioplayer), there is no explicit content type plugin which can play a specified MP3 file.

This plugin implements from scratch the 1pixelout player, based upon parameters documented at http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/ by Mindy MacAdams.

Respect is due to her, and of course to Thomas Laine who created the player in the first place.

Screenshots

img-3 This shot shows three separate instances of the plugin on a single page. The second one is active and playing.

The player is attractive as it scrolls out to the right when it is playing, and when paused, will retract.

Player two also shows the optional “Download” link which may be displayed to enable the user to click and download / play in their own player the file.
