Putting MP3 Media player in xara

[New Life]

Hi all,

I am currently developing the media archives for my website and am wondering how on earth I get a simple mp3 player widget onto my website so that viewers can simply click "play" and hear mp3's straight from the website?

Something like the mp3 player here:

The widgets provided by xara web designer are a little bit unsuitable for what I'm after. I'm aware this may include some html and fiddly ftp stuff....any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time and help.

The link you offered only seems to cover "For Joomla, WordPress and ZOO".

Try this, not sure what you're after.

I found help by doing a lot of searching. Modern browsers have a media player built in. Not all use .mp3, so you also need .ogg files, they say. We also found a flash player and uploaded to our server, and include it for people with old browsers.

This is the code we are now using - works great as far as I can tell... insert your own url and path to your .mp3 and .ogg files:

<audio controls="controls">
<source src="http://www.somedotcomaddress.com/audio/file.mp3" />
<source src="http://www.somedotcomaddress.com/audio/file.ogg" />
<!-- fallback -->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="player.swf" width="200" height="20">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="mp3=http://www.somedotcomaddress.com/audio/file.mp3" />
</object>
</audio>

Ideally, I would love to be able to use an mp3 player like this:

It says it's written in HTML5 which I assume means I can embed into a placeholder in Xara, correct?



Thanks so much guys,
Sorry for the late response, I've been out of the office for a couple of weeks.
Yes, this is helping me along with finding an appropriate solution.
