Embedded Flash MP3 Players
Why are there so few nice looking free embedded flash mp3 players? The new one on Tumblr brought this to my attention. It is fairly plain, but looks much nicer than some of the other options[1]. The nicest and most visible one out there is Jeroen Wigering’s JW MP3 Player, but it is rather large and has a specific look and feel that probably wouldn’t work on this site.
Honestly the commercial options aren’t much better.
My personal favorite is the minimalist Bleep proprietary player. In a smart move they allow you to embed any track that is sold in their store on your site, but you can’t use the player to embed files from other sources.
Side note: the new Bug 12” (with Kode9 remix) that I am linking to here is a killer. More Kevin Martin material is on the way on Hyperdub soon.
1: This link is surprisingly up-to-date with regards to options considering it is over 2 years old.

people have terrible taste?
also I really don’t understand the lack of volume control on all of these.
also also why does the bleep player stop every 30 seconds?
Yep, it’s not perfect. The blinking arrow is a bit much for me.
Time to make a new one I guess.
Can we add a donation link to buy a copy of Flash? It’s only $699.95.
that is the second time a contributor to this blog has asked me something about buying Flash today. Also, straight outta the feedreader: “Post up to one MP3 audio file per day. It will play back in a sleek Flash Audio Player. Nothing you don’t have permission to share, please.” –New Tumblr thing that waxy linked.
didn’t ry link that tumblr thing in this very post?
I can’t read.
