Mike writes, I've been trying to embed a Windows Media Player on my website and have it play from a library. I've figured out the part of embedding the player itself but cannot figure out how to get the player to play from a list of mp3s elsewhere on my site. You could create an ASX file that calls each of the files and then link to that ASX file from the embedded Windows Media Player, but I've never had that work consistently without setting up Windows Media Services on a Windows server. Using a simple ASX setup doesn't allow for easy skipping between tracks or any of the normal play controls you might expect from most of the common media players. The only easy way to build an embedded playlist with Windows Media Player is to have a server running Windows Media Services hosting all the files. A better alternative is to setup an embedded Flash based player designed for playing back files. Read on to find out how to setup an embedded Flash playlist.
