# jsAMP: Example SoundManager 2 Application

     ---------------------------------------------------------

      * GENERAL DISCLAIMER: jsAMP is UNSUPPORTED DEMO CODE. *

      jsAMP is provided "as-is" and as an example application
      using the API functionality provided by SoundManager 2.
      (It's also a dev. sanity QA check / API test suite.)

      I don't recommend throwing it on your band/label's site
      expecting it to "just work" - you have been warned. ;)

      You are welcome to use this in your own projects, but
      be aware jsAMP may be buggy, use at your own risk etc.

      If you are looking for a JS/DHTML/Flash MP3 player,
      check the related projects section of the SM2 project
      page for other resources.

     ---------------------------------------------------------

jsAMP is a JavaScript MP3 player which uses the SoundManager 2 API to provide JS-driven audio. It's an example of the kind of stuff you could build using SoundManager. All player logic is handled via Javascript, but SoundManager 2 (JS + Flash) provide the actual sound layer. It's also convenient in that no Flash knowledge is needed, it's all handled by SM2.

jsAMP picks up all <a> elements linking to MP3 files in the page, and creates a playlist (view source for details.) It gets ID3 information when loading local/same-domain files or as permissions allow, as well.

To see the playlist, click the "down arrow" at right on the UI.

Click and drag the title bar to move the player around. When a track is loaded, click to seek or drag and drop the slider to a given position. (Safari seems to have a few minor UI issues in this version, FYI.) IE 6 also receives a somewhat-degraded, GIF-based experience.
