Aye.

I'm testing a few of those, and decided on the one stuck on the page now. It's cute. =)
Haven't announced it anywhere yet though.
Still in beta.

And yes, you can use it by sticking this piece of code between your <head> and </head> tags on your home page:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openplayer()
{
window.open("http://www.slayradio.org/webplayer.php", "SLAYRadio", "toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=275,height=114,left=450,top=300");
}
// -->
</script>


... and then adding a link to it somewhere on the page by saying:
<a href="javascript:openplayer()">128kbps SLAY Radio java player</a>


Or something of the sort. =)

Interesting.... wonder if there can be an option to keep it within its own screen since my browsers all have popup killers on em.

Nice!

Puts my SLAYPlay app to it's deathcoffin.

Although.....the JavaApp still steals 25Mb of RAM, wich I think is a bit on the fat side.

Tried in both IE6 and FireFox1.0

Anybody else get this high memconsumption?

Not quite.
There's a "Downloads" section coming up on the home page pretty soon, and SLAYPlay will be included there.
Where's the latest version of it again? =)

Yes, but that's not due to IE6 or FireFox, methinks. It's due to Suns Java engine.

I can positive on the memory consumption by Java. And it's kind of responsible for 90% of all crashes.

Does anybody know why?

Sometimes when Java and all browser windows are closed, memory isn't freed. Can you believe I run out of memory with a browser?! That's ridiculous!

Thank god for serverside scripts! Spares people a lot of headaches!

This is one of the reasons I didn't go public with the java player myself. It's still in "testing mode".
I am trying to find some other solution, but so far I've seen no good ones.

My comment wasn't on the Java Player itself. Seems a bit of good programming helps a lot because it didn't crash yet.
Well, if I get annoyed, I will stick to the SlayPlay by Sonic Wanderer. :wink:

When ever i can avoid Java i do. I've had more problems with Java stuff than i have with anything else.

Still use winamp atm, but i have to admit Sonic's little player was very nice too :)
