MLL Audio Player MP3 Ajax

HTML5 MP3 player with Flash Fallback. Play music while browsing your site – 100% AJAX enabled! Please be gentle with reviews – this software is in public beta & will get more user friendly through your feedback.

Also allows you to organise Artists/Albums/Songs from your wordpress dashboard and display them in your pages/posts via shortcodes and a sidebar widget player.

   (you’ll almost certainly need to – wordpress AJAX enabling is not always simple depending on your theme)

When I browse to another page, my music stops when it should keep playing

You haven’t enabled your AJAX in the setting panel (it’s disabled by default because it’s tricky!)

How does it work? It’s like magic!

The player is based on the excellent open source http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/ library. Basically it just plays music through that but reloads the content and menu areas of the page via ajax when a link is clicked. Then it uses html5 push.state to ohange the url.

My page reloads to something really weird, what’s happening?!

If you have javascript content within a post/page then when it loads dynamically it might produce strange results -nothing damaging but can be odd. Luckily people rarely put javascript inside their posts…
