I recently had my website redesigned: http://www.jervinmusic.com I'm still getting the content in, but I'm very happy with the design. The designer threw in a flash media player for the music that wasn't an original part of the design or requirements, so I'm in no position to complain about it, but... The player doesn't stream the music, instead, it loads up all the music in the player when the page is loaded - which is a lot of music, and it takes several minutes to load, even on a good connection. My question is this: How difficult is to make a basic streaming music player for use in a web page? It would need nothing other than basic playing, pausing, changing tracks (which can even be hard-coded), and volume control. How much would it cost to get someone to do this for me? I don't know flash, but I'm technically proficient - how hard would it be to learn how to do a project like this myself? Or even easier, is it plausible to drop in something premade like XSPF or Wimpy with a minimal amount of fuss? Thanks!
