 * When something can be processed and generated before posting, why the hell would
   I want to trade it for mountains of javascript libraries that dynamically replace
   tags in order to add a flash player?? I can understand that plugin developers
   would, so it is easy for beginners to get a hold of. But I want fast, over hidden.
 * I went back to the basics and used the simplest flash player I could find. Ive
   updated the media.php script that gives the author a checkbox that will include
   the flash object along with the link when sent to the editor.
 * This is the mp3 player im using (all flash, no javascript… yummmy):
    [http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/](http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/)
 * This is a code diff from 2.6.1 media.php and my edits, anyone is welcome to take
   this and make a plugin, if they want, or just use it and edit media.php manually:
   (
   you will need to statically define herein the domain where the music player can
   be found):
