Audio Player Question - Looking For Feedback
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So right now Mixposure uses popup audio players while many sites out there use embedded audio players. We have always had the ability to do this but I have just not done it. The reason is pretty simple. Typically I listen to songs and may navigate away from the page I am listening from. On most sites, you lose the song you are listening to. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So I have debated on embedding the audio players and leaving a popup link as well. This way you can choose either. But before I start coding this, I thought I would see what most people prefer. Does it matter? Do you like the popup audio player better? Prefer embedded instead? Any other features you are looking for?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for your help!</span></p><p> </p>

Rocker - I added the star rating you requested to that section so you are all set there. It sounds like the majority do not want the embedded player. Interesting!
Thanks for the feedback all.
I like it as is!
Yeah, pop up is definitely the way to go, I think in general, we would get much longer play time as well- as you can navigate around several pages while the same song continues to play, whereas if it's embedded, sometimes you can click onto a different link by mistake, lose the song you were enjoying, but figure, oh well, and not bother going back to re-launch. Much higher changes of a song playing from start to finish with the pop up....
Dazed I like the pop up player for the reason you stated. I like being able look around without losing the song. Pop up player is my choice.

see man, this is why i hang out here when i can. other omd's would never even ask, you just get what the hell is offered...
i like the pop up because like a few have said you can navigate away and still listen, that is a very cool feature that i haven't seen anywhere else.
peace,
Wow...talk about spoiled here...If both popup and embedded audio plays could happen...that would be an awesome touch to Mixposure no other site would have that!!
One other thing and is only a suggestion: I like to play new songs that are listed on the front page on the left side under "New Songs". I click the "R" for review and leave my comment right there...any chance you could add a 1 to 5 star rating to that review popup?
Again...Job well done Dazed!!

Love the option of being able to choose either or !
Great idea Gary, been having the same thoughts myself. Would also love to see the Shoutbox closer to the top of the page as well.

It is a no brainer for all the reasons below - please keep the pop up. ftlpope
