Javascript Song
 

I'm writing a script that controls embeded audio on a webpage...a playlist is provided...is there a way that I could display the name of the currently playing track? Really, all I need is something to happen when each song is over...like an event at the end of the song or something...any ideas?

Thanks,

Presumably you are you using some command to play each song, & presumably you are/can execute anew for each title. If you aren't using a loop already, would something like this work:

The above is bash-ish, but surely there is a loop structure in whatever you are using.

Yea I know what you mean - its just that there's now way of senseing when a song is through in javascript...is there?

Hey man.

I didn't know that javascript can play songs (executables). (Just by having file:// url on a local drive?).

It should be possible to set the settings in the song playing executable to close on exit instead of rewinding and restarting.

Also, since it is browser based (javascript!?!?!) you could always open it in the same window and will this help?

End

I use the <embed> tag to get the music, but I know javascript can control the playback (play/pause) - I also know that you can embed a playlist file...now if I can just make something display what the current track is...

Thanks,

Scott
