Flash Music Player with XSPF and M3U playlist support

Website MP3 player - DNeX FMP256

This unique Flash application lets you put a fast, small and reliable playlist-driven MP3 player on your website. It can play MP3 tracks from anywhere on the Web and is available in many different designs to suit your site layout. For only a few dollars you get the SWF files, XML templates, full instructions and the fully-editable FLA sourcecode.

Draftlight's DNeX Group designs rich-media delivery systems for the music and movie industry, and our Flash playheads are used by record labels, movie studios and broadcast media websites across the world, with hundreds of millions of plays per year. The FMP256 series on these pages is your opportunity to use some of the same technology on your own site - from promoting your own music to delivering transcripts, tutorials, lectures or webcasts.

The playhead demo on this page is Design 20 from our Professional catalog. Provided your browser has JavaScript enabled, you can open and close the playhead's panels dynamically. All our playheads support realtime control - for example if you want to reload a new playlist into the playhead without reloading the entire page, just click here!

Draftlight are unique in providing full source code when you buy our playheads - all the files you need to rebuild or redesign the playhead are included, all you'll need is a copy of the Flash 8 Pro IDE. Don't worry if you haven't got one - many designs allow color and background skin changes with a simple line in a text file!

What music are you playing?

The demo playheads on our site obtain music from a content-rated feed of tracks from Unsigned Band Web, a site that promotes and publicises unsigned musical artists of all genres. Please be aware that Unsigned Band Web does not filter lyrics for explicit content, therefore some genres may be unsuitable for playback where unrestricted age audiences are present. The feeds used on this site are chosen by us to be safe for all ratings.

If you want to use our playheads with a feed from Unsigned Band Web, then download our free UBWEB XSPF Feed Generator, that creates an XSPF file based on selections from the artist database. You will need a website that supports PHP in order to run the script. Please bear in mind that the UBWEB administrators block remote use of artist images.
