Another cool snippet of code for your
webpages is the
Audio-Tracker......
many of you may recall the
Yahoo Messenger plugin that displays artist
and track playing on WinAmp as your yahoo status message..... well this bit of code will show
the same info on your webpage.
NOTE ! Audio
Tracker is pretty much closed at this time.... i suggest you try
http://gerpok.com and the DOSOMETHING
plug in.... the gerpok forums and DOSOMETHING have great how-to
advice... so i will not duplicate it....
leaving audiotracker
info up in case kaboon opens it again.. its a GREAT tool..no matter
which one you use....
others tools...
Audioscrobbler,
Last.fm ,Skin-Zone.net
,
Viralsound ,
and
Listen-to.com
Both WinAmp plug ins are free. and easy
to use
Ready? piece of cake..... head
over to
Audio-Tracker.com
and register for the forum. ( whole site is forum.... nice and
easy to navigate.... read the n00b help and faq if you get
stumped.) Opps! need
Winamp?
looking for
Winamp2 ?
Got WinAmp? All registered? Then time to download
the plug ins.....
Audio-Tracker Plug-in for Winamp2
or
Audio-Tracker Component for Winamp3
~ check around Audio-Tracker site for any other programs plug ins......
then just run that installer...... then open up WinAmp. *Images
from WinAmp 2.7.6 here i think...
* ps. make sure to check for an update
to the WinAmp 2 plug in for Audio Tracker.
with WinAmp open, right click it and
you will see a menu like this..... select options.... then
preferences.... or... when open, do the CNTRL P to open the preferences
screen
You will need to scroll down
the menu on the left side..... to plug ins.... general purpose. Select the
Audio-Tracker plug in ~ and the configuration screen will pop up.
In the
Audio-Tracker configuration screen, enter your username EXACTLY the same as
registered on the
Audio-Tracker
forums. It is CaSe SeNsAtIvE !! Then enter your password and click the
Enable Audio-Tracker plug in.... then the OK button.
Almost done! Now go log into
your mail program and find your welcome email! This email will show you
the server your Audio-Tracker image is on..... this is the image and
server that will be used for webpages and forums
Ready to use the
Audio-Tracker on a forum or as a sig tag? just copy the code below and
edit the server name.... replace the entire url with your image
server code. make sure to keep the [img] tags so it will show on forums.
Ready to use the
Audio-Tracker on a web page? just copy the code below and edit the server
name.... replace the entire url with your image server code. and do
not forget to put something in the alt tag.... *replace 'something' with a
witty saying. or *ugh* or... :-).... whatever!
Now ! fire up WinAmp and
start playing songs! The server may not see you immediately ~ just keep
playing the songs... usually in a few songs, it has you all registered and
active and is updating your webpages and sig tags! You can go to the url
in your welcome email and check the image.... if it works there. check
your code used on tags and pages....
Side note.. i had to allow
winamp full net access via my firewall or it did not work... this is a
good reason to use the latest version of WinAmp.
Also.. if the mp3 tag is
incorrect or incomplete, viewers will see a N/A instead of the song title
and artist....
check the
Audio-Tracker faq and n00b forums again if you have any problems...... and don't
forget... Audio-Tracker.com © 2002, 2003
Kaboon ~ awesome ..... just awesome.
