limitphp Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 On a site like amazon.com, where you listen to music clips: ex) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LLGSLW/ref=amb_link_83016531_1/184-1636537-3053041?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=asin-coop-gp-1-B&pf_rd_r=09TSXX1SJYZH56MMEGCK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=465745791&pf_rd_i=5174 Do you think they store each clip as a mp3 or asx, or audio file and then just have the flash piece link to that clip? Or do you think they store each clip as an individual flash piece? Also, it looks like each play button for each song is a link in html or javascript that links to the flash piece at the top.....do you think thats what it is?

premiso Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It is done in flash. They just need 1 flash app, then they feed it the location of the song they want to play. Not hard to do, you can probably google to find the script.

I want to use what they use....because their songs load so much quicker than other websites....its almost like itunes...where the song plays almost instantly....

Whatever can be played via flash, mp3, wmv, as. As long as the server has the codecs and the medium to play them it does not matter.
