I'm also interested in a 'simple' mp3 player module so that user can create it's own playlist and upload mp3 files to its own folder. Maybe even share mp3 with other users.
I'm researching an mp3 player for my site. We do conference recording and have started offering mp3 downloads to our customers. I am considering offering a player/file library option, similar to sites like iTunes and Rhapsody, that will allow subscribers to easily listen or transfer files to personal devices.
Is anything like this available or being considered as a module for Drupal?
I'd recommend the swftools, it takes a bit of exploring, but it's well worth it - as you can re-use it for video in pretty much the same way as well. Note that Jeroen Wijering's tools are not free if you are going to use for commercial purposes, it's really cheap however and well worth getting a license.
It uses a CCK node type with the CCK audio field enabled, and passes that field (after you uploaded an mp3 of course!) into the SWF player in question via a theme function. Sounds complex, but it's not!
I have it installed already but I am unable to get it to work and I find it very confusing to understand I just wanted a simple MP3 player for the site.
words like complex and simple are subjective and relative to a users pateince and knowledge.
Can you create a "simple" mp3 player module? I am guessing you cannot.
The audio.module is the most simple module, use it without ID3 tags and even a monkey can upload audio.
rather then complain, it would be much easier to help you, if you asked specific questions related to the module you are using. Doing so insures you get specific help which you will benefit from.

you can use the audio module, with views_bonus module and the required flash player (linked on the views_bonus page) using all the audio nodes uploaded with the audio.module. Its about as easy as I've found.
... re: use of views_bonus to display playlists in the Wijering mp3 player via Views?
I see a lot of posts saying this doesn't work, one that said it could work if you changed the Wijering mp3 player's folder name (which changed as he upgraded his player) from jw_mp3_player to flash_mp3_player (not for me), another far more involved plea to the developer (never answered as of 03/07) which states among many other things that version 2.3 of Wijering mp3 player works (not for me).

investigate the audio.module in the downloads area.
Planing on creating a module

I'm planing on using Mychoonz's openSource mp3 player that uses ajax and integrating it in drupal as module.
If there's anything like that already I would appriciate you post it here.

Can no one make a simple MP3
Can no one make a simple MP3 module were you can just install and away you go instead of these complex modules ?

Could you give more detail

Does this work for you?
Thanks...
me neither
I had exactly the same problems and I didn't get any mp3 player working. I'd like to use Wijering mp3 player. did you get how it's done?
cheers
Dublin Drupaller has an experimental add-on
You should check out Dublin Drupallers experimental alternative to the default audio players that comes with Drupal.
It's not quite a module..it's more of a drop-in bit of flash/js that automatically picks up all the mp3 in a page or page view.
jPlayer
Actually this is a kinda old thread but since I ended up here I'll post a reply:
After a little research I think that jPlayer is the best solution: http://drupal.org/project/jplayer
- simple and looks nice
- no flash so works on apple/mobile devices
- there is a 7.x dev release!
also see http://jplayer.org for more details.
