<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.&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Another avenue for musical creations. Two of my songs, It Was A Trip and Alerro. were selected as the intro and outro&nbsp; for an Audio Book thriller series called Dead Hunt by Kenn Crawford.&nbsp; The audio book has been getting a lot of play which means each time a chapter is heard, the listener also hears my songs and I'm credited and linked as the songwriter of them. Just another avenue for musical creations and exposure.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Below is a promo and link to Kenn's Audio Book, Dead Hunt. If you take a listen you'll hear my songs, It Was A Trip as the intro and Alerro as the outro.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Cheers!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">===========================================================</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Off the coast of Nova Scotia on a remote island, a lonely scientist, a powerful computer, a simple mistake. Unleashes a new threat, somewhere in the hills of Margaree.<br /><br />&ldquo;Dead Hunt&rdquo; is Kenn Crawford&rsquo;s chilling tale of a desperate father&rsquo;s undying love, a daughter frozen in time, and the small group of teens trapped in the aftermath.<br /><br />&ldquo;Everyone makes mistakes. Some are small, some are bigger. My father&rsquo;s mistake, born of an innocent heart and fueled by sadness, was the greatest mistake. Some thought the death of his little girls drove him to the point of insanity; some thought he was trying to be God. But, this is not how it happened. The truth is, he wanted to save me. To give me life. And, in doing so, everyone was doomed.&rdquo; ~Robin<br /><br />Music by Farrell Jackson, Tom Storms, Gregory Cain &amp; Kenn Crawford</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">http://deadhunt.kenncrawford.com/</span></p>
