Im using xml code to create a flash-based mp3 player on my website. I'm having a couple problems with the way that I have it set up...
1. The songs DO stream, however I want to know if there is a way to set a sort of buffer time for each song so that they buffer a bit farther ahead before they start. The problem is that viewers of my playlist with slower internet connections are hearing the songs 'skip' because they dont buffer far enough ahead of the play speed. (or is there another way for it not to skip?)
2. Is there any way whatsoever to make the playlist 'randomize' or 'shuffle' or anything similar?
Here is my code so you can get an idea of what to suggest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<playlist>
<song title="song" artist="artist" duration="0:00" filesize="0000000"><![CDATA[url of the mp3]]></song>
</playlist>
It's VERY simple to understand. The xml pulls mp3 from my webhost and puts them in the flash player and plays them. I don't mind making it more complicated. Just know that I'm an XML newbie and need some explaning.
