Hi Everyone, I'm trying to create a playlist from scratch. With me being pretty blunt there I want it to have my own custom design for my companies radio shows. It's been a very long time since I've attempted this. I'm sure I might need a possible adobe program to create the design, I just don't know the exact one I'll need. I really want to learn how to do this. Also all mp3 files have been uploaded to my website, so that might save a step. I want my playlist to: 1. Have visible titles 2. Be able to scroll up and down through the playlist 3. Have Play, Pause, Forward, Backward buttons 4. Have one main picture I really need some guidance where to start.
There are many ways you could do this - first of all, you could do this by publishing a playlist via some sort of existing service that allows you to upload your own files, and then just share that list. That's the easy, no-hassle way. If you want to host the files yourself, and have a player on the site, you need to first figure out which player you want to use - there are many, and with modern browsers, there's really not much need to do much - they'll mostly play whatever audio you provide. Fancy interface will demand some sort of player, though. You absolutely do NOT need any "adobe program" - except for maybe making a logo and some icons (use illustrator, not photoshop for that, please) - the website should be made using plain HTML, then styles using CSS - not really any need for heavy "design" for a site like this.
Seeing that most services limit the duration of each track played, or the amount of tracks, it'll be easier for me to host several one hour tracks. Can you recommend any playlist players that I can input the <source> my self?
I dunno, I've never had the need for one, but the first hit on Google is this one: http://amazingaudioplayer.com/ - seems to do all you need, but its free version limits the amount of songs. The prices start at $69, so it's not that expensive. You could perhaps try the free version and see if it fits?
