Topic: Play favorite server-based MP3-files "FavoritePlayer"

Hi everybody.
I know there is the "My Streams" Option, which works ok. But still, if you just want to play a certain mp3 file, it takes too long to fill in the adress...

I am thinking of a widget that offers, say, 9 buttons ( with a number on it ) that start to play a corresponding mp3 placed on a server somewhere.
So practically I am thinking of this:

I have folder "favorites" on my webspace, where I toss mp3s into.
The widget should look through this folder, see what files are in it and create a button for each file.
Pressing the button starts playing the mp3.
Lets say it should work for a total of 9 files.


Really simple, actually.

Let´s call this widget (working title) "FavoritePlayer"
Who has got the skill to programm that ? :-)

did you try the youstream-widget and insert the link to this mp3-file in internetradio?
i did not try this but i can imagine this could work.


edit: yes i tested it by myself.

just upload all the files you want -  copy the link as direct-MP3-link into a category and station in internet-radio and all works pretty fine.

Yes, i am sure this Works !!
But that is Not quite how i Imagine it.
The trick the Widget has to do for me is
automatically ad the files present in that Folder
to the according Buttons. No Manual Input
of urls! :-)
for the musicPal there existed à playlist
Generator that did the Job, but without the possibility
toskip Files...
It Used Some sort of .php script...

then just use this generator and edit the input fields on youstreams.appsport.com with your account.


perhaps you should pubilcate this generator for the use of everybody who wants to.
