how to embed amazon s3 mp3s on your website?

[JasonParker]

Just started using Amazon S3 because Audio Generator is starting to get expensive...

I'm able to upload mp3s onto my Amazon S3 account, but can't find out how to embed the audio onto my site after that. Does anyone have any good resources? I can't seem to find anything about it in my searches... and the Help section on Amazon AWS is just crazy.

Hey, Jason
you'll need a flash player for that: Tutorial for Flash MP3 Player
it's free by the way.

Don't forget to set acl on your file and allow public to read
it. And just right click and select "copy url" and paste the
url into player code like in the tutorial.

hmmm...

Say my S3 bucket is "jasonparker"...

What would these URLs be?

* http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/player.swf
* http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/audio-player.js
* http://www.fakedomain.com/myname/audio/music.mp3

Put the flash player on your own website and the urls will
be local, but use the s3 url for mp3 file
You can get s3 file url by right clicking and selecting
"Copy URL to Clicpboard" If you're using s3 organizer
for firefox.

Sweet thanks You've been a lot of help. I think all I need to do now is upload the flash files to my site. I have the URLs to the mp3s and everything.

Let me know if I can ever do anything for you.

hmmmm.... I guess I don't really understand how to install Flash Player on my site. I download Flash Player and it's just an exe file. Where do I get the swf and js files to upload to my site?
