µAudio Player

µAudio is a slim and basic plugin (Only 450 Bytes!). It does one thing: capture mp3 links and insert a small flash player on click.

Download Version 0.6.2

Do I need to do anything special in my posts?

No, µAudio automatically converts any link to an mp3 file so that it can automatically create a player. So, if you put in <a href="somefile.mp3">A Link</a> µAudio will automatically add a flash player when that link is clicked.

Why doesn't it immediately load the player?

It waits for the user to click on the link for several reasons:

  1. It saves bandwidth not to load a bunch of (potentially needless) flash players.
  2. If the link is in the middle of a paragraph, it might look odd for the player to be sitting in the text.
  3. It just makes sense that the player appears when the user indicates a desire to listen by clicking on the link

Why is my installation larger than 450 Bytes?

Since the javascript is dynamically rewritten, it can grow in size depending on what options you have enabled and certain environment variables. 450 B represents the smallest possible installation, my own site is 452 Bytes.
