That’s really simple to use and doesn’t even need an XML file. Just need to prepare your MP3 files and ID3 tags.

1. HOW TO prepare your MP3 files

a. Here is the way to name you MP3 files correctly :
The 5 first characters of the name of the file are dedicated to order your MP3s in the playlist.
Then arrives the name of your song.
Finally, it ends with the extension ”.mp3”
For example: 00001mySong.mp3

the 5 digits allows you to add till 99 999 songs. The MP3player will order the files in the playlist according to this number.
“mySong” is the text which will appear in the playlist’s button of this song. The extension ”.mp3” allows the PHP file to browse the directory, to pick all the ”.mp3” files, then to send all file names to the MP3player

b. Here the way to prepare your mp3’s ID3 tags :
These tags are usable by flash. They will appear in the scrolling text once a MP3 is loaded.
Go to your favorite MP3player on your computer (mine is winamp). Open the files you’d like to put in your flash MP3player.
Now you can edit ID3 tags by right-clicking your file name and click “view file info” (always in winamp huh ? I don’t know how works the other players, but it should be the same).
Fill the ID3 v1 and v2 fields, save, and that’s it !
The flash MP3player will load and display the title, the artist and the year of the song !
If ID3 tags are not filled, the scrolling text will display the same name than the playlist’s button (“mySong” in my example).

2. HOW TO organize your files
a. On your server, put the HTML that contains your swf (here, index.html), your swf, your PHP file (songList.php) and your MP3s in the same directory (or on the root of the server).
b. There’s no “b.”, that’s all !

3. HOW TO customize your MP3player
First of all, install the fonts I provided to you. These are free fonts, or system font (for arial), so you could already have them or find them on www.dafont.com
Every action is commented ! So you can modify, add or substract what you want !
Quite every graphics are in MovieClips, so you can change them easily (even if I don’t recommend it, you could deteriorate the design)
You can change the logo very easily and the link it targets too !

4. WHAT ARE this MP3player functions ?
It has the same functions than winamp, but online !
a. REPEAT ONE , REPEAT ALL , NO REPEAT
b. SHUFFLE , NO SHUFFLE
c. SCROLLING TEXT INFORMATIONS ABOUT SONG AND TIME
