Below are projects that I have taken on either personally assigned for something to do in my spare time or projects for clients.
- xPlayer
This was a personal project based off of an old assignment (my final, actually) in my high school Web Design II class. The goal was to use Javascript to create a “jukebox” where users could browse all songs via various methods and would display various information for the currently playing song. When created in the class, it was based off the Windows Media Player API since the sites were viewed locally and only in Internet Explorer. It was horrible, but they functioned. After completing the class I set out to make it cross-browser, knowing I’d need Flash to do it – but refusing to just build a Flash MP3 player.
Through extensive googling I managed to finally stumble upon a solution created by Scott Schiller – SoundManager 2. He became my life saver! It was exactly what I needed and it finally gave me the means to create a CSS and XHTML based MP3 player that could effectively preload, list and sort, and play multiple MP3s without a Flash-based interface! I suggest checking out my xPlayer and seeing how powerful SoundManager 2 has made it!
