Overview
The Silverlight Audio Player project aims to provide a number of Silverlight applications for playback of audio in your website. The emphasis will be placed on making it as simple as possible to include on a webpage.
The initial intention is to provide at least two players
- A simple player for playback of one audio file including play, pause, repositioning, volume adjustment and display of song title and artist. The design of this player is inspired by the WordPress audio player.
- A more complicated player supporting a playlist
- Possibly also a very small player which just supports play and pause
Once these are complete, we will investigate providing a variety of customised appearances for each player. Graphic designers with XAML skills are welcome to submit ideas.
Usage
These how-to guides are still a work in progress so please be patient
