Hi there,
this is my first post on here so I hope that I am in the right area.
So heres the scoop: I am trying to develop my own music player, or at least properly learn how to do so. Preferably I wanted to stay away from using Flash, but creating a cross-browser player and preventing unwanted or unauthorized mp3 downloads seems like more trouble than its worth, especially with each browser's different plug-ins. So at this point, I am willing to do Flash.
I am looking for anyone who is willing to help, point me towards some decent tutorials, or even just show me references or information I could use to learn on my own. I am proficient with PHP, XHTML, MySQL, jQuery and JavaScript, but not so much with Flash or AJAX.
What I am trying to do with this player is load or play mp3s from a directory on the server, without writing them into the actual player and hiding the durectiry and file location. Mp3s will be added and updated, so I need something that will handle new songs and files.
I am assuming that the solution here is to read the directories using PHP and render JavaScript to control a Flash player. I would be extremely grateful for any help, I cant seem to find anything on the web and I have been looking for months.
Thanks!
