Thanks to SoundManager 2 I have a nice playlist embedded directly in the semantic html on the page. Javascript catches clicks and hands off the URL to a hidden Flash object embedded on the page. It degrades gracefully: users without Javascript or Flash support will still be able to download the mp3 file since it's the target of a href link and the hAudio microformat should make it robot-friendly. </p> <p> Another benefit: <a href="http://www.songbirdnest.com">Songbird</a> can see the mp3 files automatically populate it's web playlist.</p> <p>If you would like to implement something similar you can visit <a href="http://www.rotgutglory.com/node/42">this page</a> and view the source, or check out the examples on the <a href="http://schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/">SoundManager 2 Project Page</a>. </p> http://www.developerfriendly.com/node/61#comments JavaScript microformats mp3 music Sat, 31 May 2008 06:54:56 -0500 20after4 61 at http://www.developerfriendly.com
