A. Download the latest version of Flash for your browser from here:

 

Q. My music is not playing in the music player.

A. The most common cause of this is that you didn't rename your mp3 files with the .class extension. Some computers do not allow you to change the extensions on files. For example the your computer might rename the file music1.class.mp3. If this is the case, upload your mp3s to your web server and rename the file names there.

 

Q. The player takes a long time to load songs.

A. The music player can not control the speed that it takes to load a song. The speed depends on two things, 1) your Internet connection and 2) the size of the song that you choose to add to your player. To make your music player load the songs quickly you should choose MP3 music that is small in size (4 megs or less).

Q. Can I stream music from another location to be used in the music player?

A. No, In order for the music player to read MP3 files they must be located on the same server/same directory as the player SwF file.

 

Q. Are there any restrictions for using the music players?

A. The music players do not work on free hosted websites that do not have a fully qualified domain name. An example would be like those from your isp, geocites, etc. You will need to have purchased your own fully qualified domain name. The players do not work on Ebay or on a cd.

 

Q. Can I have more than one music player on my website?

A. Yes you may, provided you are not using the music player commercially. The music player is to be used for your personal use on 1 website.
