At the moment I use the audio module and the 1Pixelout player to allow users to listen to single audio items in my posts.

What I want to do is allow users to now play a collection of audio tracks, like and album, all from the XSPF Web Music Player - Extended.

I can see that I can select it for use under the /Audio Settings/Players menu but this feels like a global change. I still want to be able use 1Pixelout player on the single audio clips but also, on a different page, use the XSPF Web Music Player - Extended, to play an album.

So, I guess my questions are:
Can I use more than one type of player in my site?
If so, how do I go about it?
How do I load more than one track into the player?
Is there a tutorial that exists that could be of help? If not, I'll write one when we have got it all working.

Thank you

Ok, I've been doing some digging and reading a load threads about this and many point to the fact that I should be using the following modules: audio_attach and audio_playlist.

But, where are these modules?? They don't appear to be listed in the modules list.

It appears that I am not the only one that has had similar trouble, there are several threads all interlinking and referencing each other. it is all a bit disjointed and hard to follow.

I don't mind putting a "how to" together once I get everything working, I tend to do this anyway as I am learning about a subject. But right now I can't even find the files that I need. Help!!!!

Final comment, I love the audio module, I think it is the dogs Ts. I want to expand my use of it but I am a simple man and need some basic help along the way.

Thanks.

Phil.

You need version 5.x-2.x-dev for the playlist stuff. Go to drupal.org/project/audio and click "view all releases"

Thanks Zirafa.

I hope you don't mind but I have re-activated the thread as I haven't got it all working yet. I have a funny feeling that I am going to need more help on this journey of discovery.

One quick question: With the 5.x-2.x-dev package do I now have everything I need to be able to use the Extended XPSF Music Player to play a list of tracks, like and album?

Thanks again

Phil.

Yes, it will include the audio_attach, audio_feeds, audio_playlist modules for making albums. You can also use views + audio_feeds to make albums based on views.

I'd prefer to close this issue. Keeping threads open is confusing, as they get long and stray off the original issue. If you have a specific future issue, please file a new bug report or support request. This will keep things more organized for the maintainers and readers.

Thanks!

Ok, I understand and have no problem with that.

Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how I get on.

I downloaded the dev version and attached several audio files to a "page type" node which serves as a playlist.
I am still unable to get the audios to be displayed in one player. See below:

Carlos,

Many people, including myself would like this to be an option for this module, but for now you have to get the functionality you want through theme overrides. Please consult the following thread which has all the details: http://drupal.org/node/139581 Good luck.

I am having same problems as Carlos Miranda Levy. This has been a disaster because I upgraded a musician's site from 4.7 to 5.7 and consequently his site has been degraded.
