If you don’t mind spending a little dough, you can pickup a copy of Wimpy Player and embed it as a “Executable PHP Widget”. That being said, there might be another “free” flash player that can be embedded in the php widget. I can’t remember the author site, but if you search for executable PHP widget you should find it.
Currently I have the wimpy mp3 player on my site in the sidebar in the php widget and it works great.

Not sure whether it’s better to resurrect a 6 month-old thread or start a new one, but since I have the same question, here goes:
I would also like to use the Wimpy mp3 player on my band’s website. I’m using Mandigo, which is a widget-ready theme, and I’ve installed the Executable PHP Widget and dragged it into my sidebar.
I also downloaded and set up the Wimpy demo player as suggested on their site, and edited all of the generic references in the plug-in code to match my server info (I think…).
Anyway, after completing all this, the following is what shows up in my sidebar where the Wimpy player should be:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function makeWimpyPlayer() in /www/radionowhere.net/web/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/widgets/execphp.php(24) : eval()’d code on line 1”
I sort of get the basic idea of what that means, but I have no idea how to solve the problem. If anyone out there has a better grasp of what’s happening and could help out, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks!
Are you still having problems playing the wimpyplayer?
