Hey all,

Great to see the media module where its at. Thanks for all your hard work!

What the state of 3rd party audio in Media Module? I'm still wrapping my head around all aspects of the Media module so you'll have to pardon me if the answer to this is obvious and this is already possible.

I see formatters and things for audio, but no documentation.

Happy to jump in and document when I get a lead here.

anyone know of any players I can use?

jplayer with filefield is what I went with due to radio silence on this support request.

Sub,

Would love to get SoundCloud working via a media web link. Looks like I might be writing the module myself though. :(

The media_oembed submodule of http://drupal.org/project/oembed works with SoundCloud.

Thanks James,

In fact the Media: SoundCloud module does have a D7 port, but its in the issue queue for the project. It's marked as 'needs work' however I used it and it worked fine for me. Here's the relivent issue: http://drupal.org/node/1022266

oEmbed looks like another great option too! Had a look and from the lay of the land I think this might be a better option for whatever audio content delivery platform they decide on, as long as it supports oEmbed :)

Thanks again!

Another option is to use Remote stream wrapper. This allows you to paste in the URL of any external audio file, which can then be displayed using e.g. MediaElement, with which you can configure display of the audio file type.

We are light on documentation, that's true. Feel free to expore, ask questions in IRC and then add your own documentation handbook page on how to get started with Media and audio. This is an open source project, so feel free to contribute back what you learn!
