Lost in the modules ! - embedding mp3 player on the frontpage
orkuntuzel - July 8, 2009 - 13:30
Hi everyone,
I just want to create a singer/songwriter website with simple features.
I'm a newbie but learning well about drupal.
Most of the content for the site is ready and it's time to make people hear my songs (the main goal)
but I'm lost in the modules section! My brain stopped working.
I just want to see an mp3 player on the frontpage in a proper block (like myspace player or like this: http://www.alejandromorelli.com/ )
While doing this,
I must host my mp3's in a different site like www.filefreak.com
because I'm using free hosting and it has limitations.
I did video embedding with video module, picture gallery with lightbox.
but stuck about the audio files.
can someone help me ?
thanks

I just created a page content and embedded a reverbnation player widget into it. It's the quickiest, painless and free solution for now.
Now I'm trying to learn how to place it in a block on the frontpage.
how can I put a content (this player, or some news) in a block easily?
any module suggestion for that?
thanks

I used nodes in block module and placed my reverbnation player on frontpage.

Glad you got it working. For future reference, there are modules that do playlists -- swftools and xspf_playlist spring to mind, but there's probably others.
Also, you can place code directly into a custom block using the php code input filter -- you don't need a module to place code into a node then put the node into a block.
