I am using AudioField with D7. Does anyone know of where I would get a player, and how I would incorporate it with AudioField? Also, will it work somewhat like how the MP3 (Wordpress) Player Module for Drupal works in D6?? Where I just go to display fields and set the display for the audio field to be the player?

Wondering the same thing here - having a hard time finding anything. I have filefield set up and ready to go, but can't find a player.

SoundManager2 looks like a good choice if you can get it going. Only thing is that it's set up with requiring the Audio module, which is no longer being developed, and no plans are made for a Drupal 7 version.

The new SoundManager 2 module is listed as in progress for Drupal 7, b/c they're trying to remove the requirements for the Audio module - at least I think that's the issue.

For "dealing" with media, the Media module is also looking good, and the SoundManager 2 module will hopefully eventually work with the media module to play the media you "manage" with the media module.

And now I JUST NOW remembered another one I had been looking at for a while. Media Front is the name of that one. It's basically an all in one media solution, I think.. and it has a supposed stable Drupal 7 release:
http://drupal.org/project/mediafront

I'm going to look at it now, myself... I tinkered once with it before with Drupal 6, but didn't give much of a chance to it, b/c I was already using the Audio module to cover all my needs... or at least the most important ones.

Media Module: http://drupal.org/project/media (for handling media, not for actually "playing" it - it seems to work well so far, in my opinion, basically gives you a library for every kind of file with options for viewing/editing the files right there in the library... to some extent.

Sound Manager 2 Module:
http://drupal.org/project/soundmanager2 - Be sure to check out the samples on the "try out a demonstration" link or the "home page" link from the project page.

Also, if you want to search for modules, you can try searching on drupal.org - it does work better since the recent site upgrade, and you can also try http://drupalmodules.com

One thing I'm really liking about the recent Drupal upgrade (just noticed) is that links in the forum posts are automatically set as links, so we don't have to manually enter the html link codes. Yippee! :0)
