How to put it on your sidebar
 |
| How to add a sidebar widget. From illustration |
- Create a configuration for a sidebar widget, for example called "sidebar widget style 1". You can use the
Settings--> FMP:Config Editorto do this, and it will create a XML config file called sidebar-widget-style-1.xml in your configuration list. - Create a playlist, for example called "playlist in homepage sidebar". You can use the
Settings-->FMP:Playlist Editorto do this, and it will create a XML playlist called playlist-in-homepage-sidebar.xml in your playlists list. - Go to
Appearance --> Widgetsand drag a "Flash MP3 Player JW" to your sidebar. Then you should set the title, width and height of the widget, choose the config file sidebar-widget-style-1.xml and playlist playlist-in-homepage-sidebar.xml, click save, done! - You can create a lot of different config files and playlists and add a player to every sidebar (if you have more than one), each one with a different config and playlist.
How to embed it in your post or page
- Just like what you do in "put it on your sidebar"
- Just like what you do in "put it on your sidebar"
- Add a new post. Click the media button, which is a blue "Play" button, to call the wizard panel.
- You can either choose config file and playlist or not. If not, just set a single song's url. Click insert button and the short code to call the player will be inserted to your post.
How to put it in other place of your blog
To put the player in other place of your blog is not so easy as above. You should know something about template tags of WordPress.
The code to call the player is like this:
//the entire url of the config file, must
'config_url' => '',
//the entire url of the playlist file (optional)
'playlist_url' => '',
'width' => 230,
'height' => 350,
'id' => '',
'class' => '',
'transparent' => true, //this is default
'autostart' => false, //this is default
'file' => '' //the entire url of the MP3 file (optional)
);
//you should set either "playlist_url" or "file"
fmp_tag_print_player($args);
How to backup your playlist files
Now you have just one method to backup your playlist file is to use ftp connect to your server, and download the /wp-content/fmp-jw-files/playlists directory. If you want to restore your playlists, just upload the playlists files to the /wp-content/fmp-jw-files/playlists directory.

The JW Player and FLA File Download
The player embedded in this plugin is so-called JW Player, which is the same as the player in YouTube. But the player in this plugin is the version 2.3 of JW Player, the reason for this version is because the size of the player file is just 9.5K bytes. It is very fast for the browser to load this player in. The short hand of it is that this player can just play audio. Just as the name of this plugin, it is an mp3 player, so the function of the version 2.3 is suitable. A lot of designer want to customize the look the player, so I give you it here. You can download it by click the link below.
Player Printer, Config Editor and Playlist Editor
This plugin is composite of three parts. The first is Player Printer. This thing is used to put the mp3 player on your page. Its core is a template tag, and extended forms are sidebar widget and shortcode. The second and the third is two XML file editors, Config Editor and Playlist Editor. They are just two XML file creating helpers. If you know how to edit a XML file, you can edit them, include config file and playlist file, locally and upload them to your server yourself.
FAQ
- where to edit the code to make the song image larger?----You can download the source file of the player and change the size of image yourself if you know how to modify the code.

I like the plugin and the features. I am a developer and need to make the Playlist Editor available to users with Editor status. I have tried using a variety of tools, but am not able to get the Playlist Editor to work for Editor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am trying to use your plug-in on a wp multi-user install and I keep getting the error "playlist not found" for both the default playlist and the one I created.
Hi, Thank you for this article.
I will leave a feedback here if you don't mind. This is not a bad player but I have tested many mp3 players for my WP website and I have to say that the best one is this: http://www.flashxml.net/mp3-player.html. It's very easy to install and very customizable. I recommend it.
Greate! That is a good choice.
Hello, my Enoch is, I'm using flash-plugin-mp3 plyer and would like to know how to allow authors to create and edit playlist using FMP_Config_Editor (), and FMP_Playlist_Editor ();
> I have tried to change the line in the file flash 72-mp3-player.php to:
if (! current_user_can ('author')) {add_action ('admin_notices', 'safe_check');
fmp_config_editor FMP_Config_Editor $ = new ();
add_action ('admin_menu', array (& $ fmp_config_editor 'add_menu_item'));
fmp_playlist_editor FMP_Playlist_Editor $ = new ();
add_action ('admin_menu', array (& $ fmp_playlist_editor 'add_menu_item'));
}
All lyrics worked more authors to create and manage your playlists!

I am trying to change the playlist order. Is there a way to change the sequence of the songs in the playlist or would I need to enter/load in the songs in the order I want them to play.
