Playing mp3 music online

[mjahkoh]

i want to create a search interface where the users search mp3's using a criteria. the mp3 search results can then be played online or downloaded.

Thanks in advance

interesting you should ask as i was just answering a same sorta question for some one else

 

to play the mp3 file.... you can eather simple call the mp3 aplet in to the browser (basic html code) you and simple add a link to the files

 

but to give more detail i would need to know

1) how will you be searching via database?

2) will the files be local on the server in the database or called remotely?

3) when you say played online do you mean as samples or as a complete play?

Thank dingus.

I want to store the mp3 name in the database, and the files elsewhere (got hosting by godaddy)

After searching, i can then retrieve the mp3 given the search results. I also want to allow the clients to play a sample or the full thing. I didnt understand this (will the files be local on the server in the database or called remotely)

I think this suffices for now.

Thanks in advance
