Yahoo Media Player - An Eye Candy Script

I found an interesting script from Yahoo to power our website, its just a java script Media Player which makes a playlist from the list of .mp3 files included in our HTML pages. I found yahoo tagging this as revolutionary music player which plays music in our website....I have listed the bullet points they mentioned on this new js

  • Adds audio to your site with one line of HTML
  • Uses simple, easy-to-hack HTML instead of complicated proprietar y markup, ushering in the REAL Media Web
  • Magical floating design never gets lost, is available when you need it, gets out of your way when you don't need it
  • Automatically finds all audio links on your page, turning your page into a playlist
  • Plays all your blog entries with a single button click
  • Allows you to put the play buttons where they belong: IN CONTEX T
  • Keeps the user in the page rather than sending them away to a media player
  • Picks up your images and adds them as cover art
  • Requires no download, install or maintenance
I believe yahoo can even more work on this kind of add-ons to personalize web pages, and they can release source codes to open community to work on them.

What you have to do, is just add this js file below your html page which contains some mp3 href

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js">
