Firefox?  It wasn't meant to work in firefox.  The mp3link executible opens an Internet Explorer browser window.

Firefox is just a buggy browser for newbies..
everytime you do a little sophisticated scripting, you can be sure Firefox is going crazy LOL.. Firefox = crap for newbies ^

(*NEW VERSION 2.01*)
The new version v2.01 is available on http://140.112.23.26:6897/mp3link.exe
The testing page is http://140.112.23.26:6897. You can try it on your own HFS.

New Features:
1. Compatibility is extended to Windows 98/ME/2000/XP (have not tested on Vista), but DIRECTX 9.0 must be installed
2. It is able to Play & Pause at ‘any’ time now
3. New option : 'Lock on the playing page', the default mode is ‘on’. In this mode, change the directory won't bother you (especially you are editing the playlist)
   (Note: Lock on mode will be automatically enabled when double click the PlayList Box on the right side)
4. New option:  Let Messenger show the file I’m listening
5. Enhanced PlayList editor: Inverse Selection, Duplicated Selection and support simple drag and drop
6. Search the lyrics automatically on website by the title of the song. Show dynamic lyrics if possible, otherwise show the static lyrics or ‘Not Found’ string (Still under development, any good idea?)

Instruction:
 1. Put the mp3link.exe in any folder you like
 2. In the first time, the program will switch to the 'Setup' page. After input the IP data, click the 'Save and Exit' and run the program again.
 3. If the program works properly, you will in the browser now.
 4. Enjoy it

Welcome back zeropt.  Nice to see you are still developing mp3link.  I'll check out your new version...
.

Nice Job!  Works Good!  The addition of automatically getting music Lyrics while the music is playing is a nice touch.

I have a few suggestions  (nothing major)

1. Activate the mouse right-click menu (copy, paste, etc.)
2. A save option for Lyrics in text format is needed.  Also, there should be an option to turn-off/on that feature.
3. Wherever you use bold font - a smaller font (at least 1 size smaller) would look better for those with smaller monitors (mines 17") or have an option to adjust font size. 
4. I personally prefer a normal window rather than the maximized default mp3link starts up with.  Also, even though mp3link starts up with a maximized window, when you right-click on the tray icon there is an option to maximize which isn't needed.  (maybe minimize but I don't think that's needed either).
5. Playlist - a horizontal scrollbar should also be added. (left window pane)
6. Some buttons should be re-sized to fit the text properly.  I'll attach examples to show you what I mean.

I tested the above locally.

I went to your site to test.  It's working good.  No problems.

Also, before I forget, here is something important for anyone using or testing mp3link through your own HFS ...

You can not have a [file.mp3] section in your HFS template and, therefore, you can't use the flash mp3player in your site.  IMHO this is the only drawback as you can't use both.

maverick? i have a [file.mp3] section in my template? i thought u could do it for almost all file types... thats how my flash mp3 player is shown only for .mp3 files... or do u mean a specific section on the template instead of in the file list...

But i don't exactly understand this particular mp3 streaming method much...

No, I'm not talking about the file list.  I have a [file.mp3] section in my template too which calls flash mp3player to play mp3 files. 

For mp3link to function correctly and without error, you have to remove that [file.mp3] section from the template if users are coming to your HFS site to stream music with mp3link or if you are accessing your server locally to stream music.

mp3link isn't like flash mp3player which is a server app.  mp3link is a standalone client application that can remotely access a HFS site by IP address or locally with 127.0.0.1.  mp3link opens a IE window for browsing and selecting the music.  In it you see the HFS site the way the owner meant it to be seen.  No difference.  You just browse to the music folder to start things with mp3link. 

But, what mp3link gives you is another way to stream mp3 files, it can create wpl playlists, it automatically gets you the lyrics to the music you are playing and more.  zeropt did a good job creating this application and based on past experiences with him he appears to like perfection.

mp3link would be the perfect solution to anyone who works in an environment where you can listen to music in the background.  You would use mp3link to contact your HFS server at home then you select the music you want to hear - non stop if you prefer, in order or randomly, and without a playlist.

Give it a try.  It doesn't hurt to try out different methods.

Maverick, thanks to your help in test mp3link. I'll fix these bugs as soon as possible.

And, could you tell me where I can find the correct 'mp3player.swf' and a workable [file.mp3] code section? I think it's a good way for me to find the problem.

I hope mp3link is a good optional solution for the music directory for windows clients. However, It will be nice if the build-in [file.mp3] and mp3link can work at the same time.

I understand it a bit more now thanks for that maverick, i went to zeropt server and tested it, nice work... I found one of the pop ups would not close when i was in IE... or was that just me, who knows... i couldn't get much to happen when i went to test it... I tested in IE, and Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Opera... maybe server busy.

I would try this on my server, but my upload is only 128k (16kb\s) so its rather useless unless music is 128k .mp3's, i plan to upgrade later in 2007. But like with my other method, i make things for other users  im on holidays from university and i am a little bit bored hehe.
