The Delicious Playtagger seems to be gone, for now, maybe forever– possibly due to Yahoo! revisions to the Delicious service. Here’s a quick fix (version 0.1; check back: will write a better one later): playtagger_mod.zip
This uses the same Delicious audio player (playtagger.swf) and images (stop.gif, play.gif), with a revised JavaScript (playtagger_mod.js). It lets you store the files locally. (Also adds a class to the image: “mp3” for CSS styling, courtesey Consuming Experience. Plus you could create your own play/stop icons.).
To get ‘er goin’:
- Unzip
playtagger_mod.zipand upload to your site the folder:playtagger_mod - In the file:
playtagger_mod.js. - Change the variable at the top:
playtagger_url. - In the
<head>of any files you want the Playtagger- Mod to work, place:<script type="text/javascript" src="http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/PATH_TO_FOLDER/playtagger_mod/playtagger_mod.js"></script>
(Again, replace
http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/PATH_TO_FOLDER/playtagger_modwith the URL of your/playtagger_modfolder.)
from: http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/PATH_TO_FOLDER/playtagger_mod/.
to the URL of your uploaded /playtagger_mod folder (needs trailing “/”).
Should be good to go. The Playtagger- Mod script looks adds a little Flash audio-player mext to any mp3 links on your page. Looks/works like this:
Specialist “Laser” Lawrence (2:08; audio: Jake Warga, Iraq: Soldier’s Soundtrack.)
UPDATE: Playtagger- Mod is now working in the wilds of the great WFMU’s Beware of the Blog.
THANK YOU! I used playtagger all the time on my website and all of a sudden it broke. Using this on my Tumblr now.
