You may or may not be familiar with the 1pixel out mp3 player for wordpress. If you aren’t and are into publishing songs in an easy to hear format.

After all who doesn’t actually have flash installed on their computer? I mean, jeez there is even an official gnu/linux version out there for all those geeks who have one less trip to the command line. Good news for everyone I guess, now that they no longer have to install some crappy plugin (read: RealMedia) or use quicktime or some other whatever to play an mp3 file on a website.

These players are simple, they open an mp3 file, read its contents, and use the magic of code and flashvars to create the sound. In fact some sites like http://www.youlicense.com rely on such flash code to help their business model.

Some places like http://myflashfetish.com use flash mp3 players for the myspace crew and I’m sure like the ad revenue they create through that pipe.

What I find odd is how even though many sites and many people use these players no longer will see these wonderfu
