Sorry for the cryptic title line Here's the story: I use a Slimbox for my main player, but I also have a server in my office so that I can access my music from anywhere with a Net connection. I've had occasional probs with both Softsqueeze and mp3 players (ie, iTunes) hiccuping and not working flawlessly in coordination with the browser controls.
Today while doing some Web authoring, I noticed some codeevidently it's pretty commonthat uses Flash to embed an mp3 player in a Web page. I experimented by generating a Web page with that code, then using it to control my music. Voilà! It worked well, tho' Firefox was working pretty hard. I'm not a sophisticated coder, but I can't imagine that'd be too hard for someone to build a skin with that sort of code so that a user could essentially turn a player daemon off and on via the browser interface to the server. WTH?perhaps a bit of javascript could sense whether "Play" is bolded and control the Flash embed automatically. I tried to do the more simple approach by squirting a snippet into the Handheld status.html page, but no luck. What do you more-expert-than-I ppl think? I realize that the cognoscienti of the Web spurn Flash, but this might be a [rare] useful deployment of itprovided Flash acts merely as a wrapper and doesn't degrade audio quality, of course.
