Because so many people have been having trouble when it comes to installing a Flash Mp3 player on their respective pages, I've decided to post my tutorial in it's own topic so guys can just link the people here instead of trying to explain everything over again, and making sort of a troubleshooter page also, by having people post what went wrong, and how they eventually fixed it.
Download this file first, by clicking here Flash player file It comes with a readme, so try reading this first to get an idea, and if you still can't get it, read the following.
Go to a hosting site, such as Ripway.com, Angelfire.com , or if you want, you can scan through some free host services through this google search link (click here)
After you've found a host, register with them, and upload the flash player in the folder you downloaded, which is named "player", saying, shockwave flash object directly under it. After you're done uploading the player remember get the path, or URL to the actual file, it'll be something like http://www.HOSTSITE.com/registereduser/file1434.swf, putting emphasis on it ending with ".SWF". Now you can start making your playlist, start by opening up the playlist xml file in notepad. It'll look something like this,
Now, you put the URL of the song where it is marked by italic text, and the name of the song where it is marked by bold text. You can look for the URL's of Mp3's at sites like http://www.emp3finder.com/, or you can upload a limited number of songs at the host sites I mentioned above.
Here's an example of an XML playlist with 3 songs.
according to how many songs you actually want in the player.
Remember to start the playlist with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
and close it off with </songs>. Save your playlist by going to file in notepad, and just clicking Save. After You've saved the playlist, rename it to your liking, then upload it to your host, just like you did with the player, and be sure to get the URL path to your playlist also, the url will end with a ".XML"
Ok, now that you've uploaded your player and list, it's time to place it on your page.
I'll just be showing the same code that came along with the player in the readme.
Paste this code\/, wherever you want to have your flash player.
You can change the values in bold
1=true 0=false
Place the URL of the player where it says "pathto/player.swf", then place the URL to your playlist where it says "pathto/playlist.xml", both marked by red text, be careful where you place the URL for your playlist, ONLY replace the red text with your URL. After you've entered the paths to your player and playlist, you can go ahead and submit the code, and it should appear just fine on your page. You can post here if you have any problems.
the playlist is in the folder you downloaded. Extract all files from that folder and open up the Playlist.xml by right clicking and choosing a text editor of choice. Once you open that edit it by replacing the url's and the titles. After you're done save it. Go to ripway.com or some hosting site upload both player and playlist. There you will get the direct url to your playlist that you need to put up there in place of http://pathto/playlist.xml make sure no spaces come after that url too.

omg this is pissing me off.. i cant get it lol.. god.. lol im stupid i dont know where to get the .xml URL at walagata.com do i use the file URL or what
yes!!! it will say http://www.walagata.com/blahblahblah/filename.xml
ok 1) the code for the player is in this thread.
2) only the playlist.xml file and the player.swf file need to be hosted on the same site. mp3s can be on as many other sites as you wish.
3) you need all of the url to the mp3's for it to work, you will then put those urls into the sample playlist as it is stated within the zip file.
