 Topic: Preview Downloadable MP3Posted: 24-June-2006 at 4:04pm |

Greetings -
Anybody out there able to show me how to add a preview link on the viewPrd.asp page, so that a customer can listen to a sample of an mp3 before purchasing it - a la amazon, etc? I'm imagining that the variable would be contained in a custom field... Thanks! |

This is what I've done. You just have to do some HTML coding in the Product Description box. I had it link to an external mp3.

That is the simplest method to accomplish this. You need to upload the sound clips to a folder on your site and then link to them using the HTML in the description field for a product. The code would just be a link to the sound clip:
You could add whatever HTML or text around the link to make it look the way you want. |

Hi
I use the excellent features of LucidFlash from http://www.lucidflash.com passing variables into it to make a dynamic playlist. I've tried loads of options over time and this is by far the most flexible. An example can be seen within a ProductCart product listing page at: http://www.wovenwheatwhispers.co.uk then go to any of the albums, particularly the featured or new arrivals. I do this by embedding a link to a flash file with a playlist number into the long description product HTML. It's simpler than it sounds and I can help you if needed. It works very well and because it strems unlike loading an MP3/WMA - it loads a lot quicker and reflects the connection speed of the user. Afurther benefit is that unlike some instances of loading an MP3 into quicktime or windows media, it doesn't need to open another window and divert their attention. Our analysis showed the minute you divert a user from the page, you've generally lost them for a sale. We also pass all our music into a streaming radio style station that plays music randomly from our artists as your browse the site. cheers Mark Edited by MarkCoyle - 29-June-2006 at 6:06pm |

Glad to help. The player is skinnable with your colours and there are a number of varients you can use. Other plauer exist from Wimpy and more but I found this the best.
cheers Mark |
