Embedded flash player for uploaded mp3s

Question

I'm looking to create a site that essentially has the some of the same functionality as myspace's music section (hopefully a little less garish). I'd want to allow users to upload mp3s and then have an embedded flash player on their profile that plays their songs. Is there anything pre-built like this? If not, what are some good tutorials for building my own flash mp3 player, I've done actionscript stuff before.

Answer 1

You could check out this javascript alternative, I think it is pretty funky and has some good built in styles. SoundManager 2

Problem: Browsers lack good, consistent native audio/video support. (HTML 5's and are on the way, but not universal yet.)

Solution: Javascript API via Flash + ExternalInterface, works almost everywhere

SoundManager 2 wraps and extends the Flash Sound API, and exposes it to Javascript. (The flash portion is hidden, transparent to both developers and end users.)
