Today I want to offer you a research on flash sound players for publishing to website. Actually, I did this research for myself when I needed to make a flash audio player for website. But I decided to share the results with the readers of my blog.

 

So, I’ve tested four flash-based sound players for website: Audio2SWF, FlashWAmp, Fun SoundPlayer Maker and SWiSH Jukebox. I’ve picked them up from the list of flash music players at download.com. I’ve examined the following parameters:

 

- quantity and quality of available skins for player and possibility of changing skin’s color scheme(skin design is very important for me because a mediocre design of audio player can spoil the look of my website),

- graphical user interface (is it user-friendly or not),

- available formats of result files,

- availability of “button“ player configuration (ONOFF only),

- possibility of voice recording,

- availability of using audio stream (e.g. streaming radio).

Look at the table with marks for every parameter and then read my comments:

Player's feature comparison table

 

Skins and GUI were estimated in a scale from 1 to 5 stars, where 5 stars is the best result. Each of the available formats was considered as 1 star. Each “+” in the next three columns- as 2 stars. The last column is the total quantity of earned stars. So, my leader is Fun SoundPlayer Maker.

That's the results of my mini-research in short. I certainly will publish the extended reviews of these four flash software soon. I hope, my table will help you to choose the most suitable flash player software. Check the reviews! And I ask you to tell me in comments what flash players you use so that I can make my research more substantial.

It's the last week before Valentine's Day... So, it's time to choose presents for people we love and make everything around us full with love and beauty. Let's make a plan to prepare everything for Valentine's Day.

Of course, the first thing is a Valentine's gift. What gift will show your feelings best? An original present made by your own with love and tenderness. For example, it can be a slideshow of your and your darling's photos with romantic background music. Make such slideshow using FlashSlider and publish it to your site, blog or copy the slideshow to a CD and give it to your dear person as a present. Who will not be pleased to see himself starring in such a romantic "mini-movie"?

Slideshow made with FlashSlider can be also used to decorate your website before the holiday. If you are a businessman, you may want to congratulate your clients and the visitors of your site, announce holiday discounts or advertise your products as Valentine's presents. Use FlashSlider to make a slideshow with your products' images, congratulation or any lovely images, add titles and music and publish the slideshow to your site. To create an absolutely "Valentine's" atmosphere on your site, make a cute Flash sound player with Fun SoundPlayer Maker or FlashWAmp. Add some love songs to playlist so that the visitors of your website can enjoy listening while they are looking through pages. You can also add a voice record with congratulations or business information if needed.

So, when the present is chosen and your website is ready for Valentine's Day, it's time to create romantic atmosphere on your own workplace. Decorate your desktop with Valentine's wallpapers and don't forget a stylish desktop calendar. Screen Calendar enables you to set any image as wallpaper or auto-change wallpapers in given period of time. Also, Screen Calendar is a fully-customizable desktop calendar, so you can set any color scheme of calendar to fit your Valentine's wallpaper or choose one of skins at our skins page.

Have a nice Valentine's Day! Love and be loved!
