I have an iMac G4 which runs on OS X 10.2.8. I believe this means that I can’t download Standalone Music player (which is used on mySpace.com) because you need 10.3.9? Can I download some sort of software to upgrade without paying a fortune?! or does it mean I can never listen to band’s music on mySpace?
I’m pretty confused by your question, because the music player available on MySpace is actually built atop the Flash technology and it shouldn’t require any special software or version of your operating system.
Well, that’s not entirely true. You might need to make sure that you have the very latest version of the Flash player for your Mac installed, which you can do by going here:
Macromedia Flash Download Center
But since it’s all written in Flash, it means that you can theoretically also pull a player off MySpace and drop it on another page too, which is a pretty cool trick!
I’ll show you. I’m going to pop over to MySpace and search for “Jazz” by going to the Music section and specifying Genre = “Jazz”. I get 1922 matches, but more importantly, I also get the ability to fine-tune my search:
Once I specify that I want only jazz bands in Colorado I get quite a few less matches (and am again reminded just how painfully slow searches can be in MySpace), but it turns out that I want to use the LA jazz band Saturn Jazz for this demonstration.
The trick is that I need to view the source of their page and copy and paste a huge block of code into my own page starting with <script> and ending with </OBJECT>.
Once I’ve done that, I can now have their player here on this page (it’s just a Flash object, after all), and invite you to listen to their music:
Click on the “Play” button and see if it works for you, then go and check out Saturn Jazz for yourself.
If your on a mac 10.5.8 PPC and you want your Flash Player to work in Safari. Uninstall flash player, restart your mac ( Very important it clears buffer), then install Flash Player 10.1.85.3, this version only, any other 10.1 version will get stuck in buffer mode. Will not work.

You can find it in Archives at Flash Player web site. All the best!

We are trying to find a music playet that we can embed on our site that houses all of the pertainable music and creates links off to iTunes for purchase.
Using Amazon’s version and it limits our design flexibility. Any ideas?
every time i go on myspace youtube ect. my musice plays and stops and plays and stops and so on.. how do i fix this problem ? =|
I started a myspace page. The first time it was a personal page but it didn’t have the music player. I cancelled that page and did it again with a band/artist page. I was asked to add a song. I added the song and it uploaded. I still don’t see the default music player on my page. Can you let me know how I can get the default music player on my page? I don’t want to use another player that has a bunch of other artists music. I want to put up my own music. Thanks.
Hi uhmmm how do i add another standalone player to my myspace music pagee ?
how do i get the music player froma usic page to my myspace…is there a codei can get to put someone music playe from there music page on my myspace???
i have a band. and we have a myspace profile. But we cant figure out how to get the music player on their. HELP!!
Hey everybody,
Maybe the most simple way of getting the standalone player is to register as an artist :
Go to music.myspace.com and look for the link in the upper right hand corner that says “Artist Signup” and click on it.
Bye

i had a standalone player playing n working just fine on my space using this trick but 2 week ago i deleted it accidentally n tried to paste it back as in the same way as i did before n now is not working at all..it doesnt appear anything instead appears a white square playing nothing!!same as the one in the top here at this page..so i suppose this trick is not working anymore..any other ideas or help to paste my fav standalone player on my regular myspace page?
how did you put that myspace player on this page like you did above??(whats the script code to do that)???
One way to get embed or html code for an mp3 player widget is to go to mytuneslive.com
There is a better site at sicklaylist.com, but its not 100 percent DONE. But you can still create some sick little widgets, and pick songs for them, and get the code. All that is working.
With mytuneslive.com, you can upload your own mp3 files, BUT you have to pay $10 one time.
HOW DO I GET A CODE 4 MY PLAYER ON MYSPACE MUSIC SO I CAN SEND OTHER PEOPLE MY PLAYER ?
how do i add 7 songs to the band music player
LeRoy. You need to read. I just put an answer to that question 2 paragraphs above yours. READ!
I was editing my band profile and i deleted my standalone player by accident. I wanted to know how to put my player back.
please tell me how to find the source of the music player.
Any band website I visit after my browser & computer have been on for long periods of time won’t load music player section just says loading & never changes. Is there a way to fix this, like with an update somewhere, or is this just a myspace issue with that part of the site being down temporarily. I run a new hp compaq presario with vista as my os. And everything is fully updated as far as I know including flash player & java.
Prisca-
To view the “source code” where the “block of code needed” is located.. Right-click / click “View Source”. (If you don’t have that option when you right-click, try another browser like Firefox.)
