Music playback from inside browser.
Now bear with me as I try to explain what I am looking for, keep in mind I am a novice at these things.
I have a webdir which contains mp3s and subdirs with more mp3s (albums etc). What I am looking for is some php script or light program (so no sql, accounts like what was offered to a similar thread for some radio station with autodj) where I can order the files for playback or even better pick which ones I want for a playlist.
So all I need is when I navigate to that page, to have some sort of interface with play, pause, next, previous and a list with all the files in the webdir that I can sort in the order I want them to be played.
Hope I made some sense and hopefully such a thing exists.
Cheers

Might be a fun little PHP project I might tackle when I get some time.
This could prove very useful to me also...
Used this a couple of years back http://scmplayer.net/
Well if you do, kindly do let me know :P
This looks interesting but it has a couple of problems.
First you have to select the files it has while setting it up, I would like it to scan the webdir and add the files, to avoid redoing it everytime something is added / removed.
Secondly it seems it was made as something that would be around the content of a site, so I end up with a lot of empty space and a playlist on the side I can't resize :P
Am I too greedy?
Make a script to expose the files as RSS, configure scmplayer to use that RSS feed for the playlist. Hide anything you don't like from the UI with CSS. Done.
that's a nice way to go about it, but out of my league sadly. Well I might be able to do the script part with perl.
How about Ampache
mysql, and generally overkill for what I need it :P
Maybe some of the options listed there: http://www.scratchinginfo.net/top-10-best-html5-audio-players/
Thanks checked them one by one. Sadly none of them work for me, 1-2 could but they would need to be modified to what extend I don't know
Main problem is that they all require a fixed playlist stored in a config.
Just tried, works pretty good for something basic..

Another option is to upload your mp3 to Google drive..
Yea I think it is the one closest to my needs, too bad resizing seems partially broken and there is no option for random :P Will probably use till I find something better, if that happens.
Cheers!
how about owncloud..? Its a bit big but i'm sure you'll find more uses for it.

Check this: wimpyplayer.com
Bit of an overkill for me
But looks interesting if I ever want to go to something more advanced.
This looks promising as well!
might try this: https://kolber.github.io/audiojs/ idk if gets much leaner than that, maybe if the kid next door has some sweet jams playing loud it might
the playlists might need something a bit more advanced, maybe try: https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/javascript-playlist-parser
so two script tags to cdn-hosted js, external js file or embedded js and the html document.
xspf_player.swf is another option, although it is poorly maintained, or abandoned. It does work fine, though.
so far wimpy seems to cover most of my needs, thank you all for your suggestions!
