If you are looking for a small and simple ‘embedable’ Flash mp3 player for your web site, then NiftyPlayer is the right player for you. It is a FREE, opensource and small (~4kb) Flash mp3 player. There is no flash knowledge required to embed NiftyPlayer into your web site.
Usage
Copy and paste the code below into your HTML file, then replace all values in red accordingly. Substitute betty.mp3 for the file you want to play, while as=1 specifies whether you want the file to auto-start playing. you may omit as if you don’t want it to auto-start.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="165" height="38" id="niftyPlayer1" align=""> <param name=movie value="niftyplayer.swf?file=betty.mp3&as=1"> <param name=quality value=high> <param name=bgcolor value=#FFFFFF> <embed src="niftyplayer.swf?file=betty.mp3&as=1" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="165" height="38" name="niftyPlayer1" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </embed> </object> |
If you’d like to use the JS extension, include the code below in your HTML file (it usually goes inside the head section). You may set the height and width of the Flash (in blue, above) to 0 to make it disappear — or use CSS, alternatively.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="niftyplayer.js"></script> |

I’ve thought a bit about putting music on my blog but never quite pulled the trigger. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again.
Hi Bush Mackel,
Now you can put all the music that you like on your blog
So long as it doesn’t auto-play, it is perfect size for a blog post. I have thought about putting music with my writing sometimes, as I will be listening to a certain song when I am inspired to write. Definitely a nifty tool!

Hi Kristi,
I do agree. Autoplay music is very annoying.
There is one more library ‘NiftyCubes’ , for making customized rounded boxes and elements for web pages and blog templates.
I didn’t knew about ‘NiftyPlayer’ earlier. Will definitely try and see the performance.
Hi Rajeev,
Yeah, maybe you should give it a try.
