I have a client asking about audio uploads. I know I will have to change the list of file formats to include these files but is there anything else I will have to do?

Also, could anyone give me any links to CMSB sites that have audio on the page so that I can see how the link will be displayed on the page and how other people have added audio (ie. audio players etc)?

Thanks! [:)]

Hi Kittybiccy,

Sorry, I don't have any examples for you, but I thought I'd point out that the [url http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/]"Audio Player Wordpress plugin" flash audio player[/url] looks promising.

Please keep us updated on your progress and let us know if you have any problems getting CMSB to generate the correct code to get things working.
All the best,
Chris

Kittybiccy,

Try this: http://www.eradiosports.com/podcast

We used a normal upload field allowing mp3's as an acceptable extension. Click on each link and the detail page will show up using an embedded audio player that plays the file.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for and I will post the source and code here.

Sure -

Here's the code:

<table>
<?php foreach ($mediaRecord['upload_file'] as $upload): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $media_downloadsRecord['title'] ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><embed wmode="transparent" src="music.swf?url=<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>&amp;autostart=false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="50">
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
</table>

The embedded player is attached to this post.

I have tried to put several players on one page before, but some browsers ignore the autostart=false and have all the players start playing at the same time. This can get annoying.
