I do not have time to troubleshoot people's code. (Hopefully I will again in the future).
I do not have much time to answer questions (but if it is a quick answer, that only takes me a few minutes, I will try to answer).
I really recommend the following site, for myspace customizing questions: Official Myspace Customizing Forum
That is the most reliable source, and the people I know who enjoy helping, and are quite good at it, tend to hang out there.

minimize myspace music player

For changing the size of the music player, you can now use my music player skin tool.
I have added an option for resizing the player, which works with (or without) a skin.
But I highly recommend adding at least a color and border.
Tool for sizing, coloring, adding skin, adding border to the myspace music player.

The above method does not require that the one use absolute placement, and does not use clip. Instead it uses the containing div to control the size.

I recommend using the above method, instead of the method I describe below.

If you want to know how the skins/colors work, or want to put them on your website, read this:
Adding Applying color or skin to the myspace music player

If you are looking to Hide the player completely (meaning it can not be seen) while still allowing it to play (in IE, FireFox and other Browsers), for the standard player, please see the following article:
Hide Myspace music player allow auto play

<i class=i>END code to Hide Music Player</i>

IF you have placed any objects (such as flash) in your bio section , you need to insure it is in div class myDiv.

If it is already in a class add myDiv to the class list.
i.e.

class="otherClassName myDiv"
Or if it has no class clause add this inside the div tag:
class="myDiv"

IF your object does not have a parent div, add one, and put it in class myDiv.
OR, if you know what you are doing, you can instead just assign a class to the object and add the needed style to override the display:none.


Move mySpace music Player
This functionality has been moved to my music player skin tool. I do not want to keep it updated in multiple locations.
move myspace music player, myspace 2.0, myspace 1.0, with or without skin






For the below function, making your player tiny, I also recommend you use my music player skin tool. It has several templates for resizing the player. I used a different strategy. One of the myspace code changes inhibited the ability to use position:absolute, so I had to come up with a new strategy.

minimize myspace music player, tiny myspace music player myspace 2.0, myspace 1.0, with or without skin



=========Old code below this point has not been tested for several months, and myspace has made many changes to the page structure and music player code. =========
I am keeping my older code here, since it has been copied to other sites already.
Minimize Player
This applies to the Standard Player (not the band page player).
It is no longer possible to just re-define the player size, the effect is to "clip" it down instead of shrinking it. This means that parts of the player will be clipped off.
What this does allow us to now do, is to clip off everything except the stop and start button. The below code will clip the player down to just the button, and place it just to the left of the ad banner, on the top:

The first solution moves (and clips) the div which contains the player.
If you have other divs, which this has a negative effect on, and you can not isolate them to reverse the style, the next solution may work better for you.
(However the 2nd solution does not make it as easy to apply a colored skin to the button).
I like to place this code in the Music Section, at the very top, or the very bottom:
<a class=i  href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8veGlpaS51cy9tcy9tdXNpYy1wbGF5ZXItdGlueQ==">
Tiny Music Player Myspace Code by Eileen</a>

<style>
.i {display:none;}
table table div {height:51px; width:295px;
position:absolute; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left:360px; z-index:7;
clip: rect(7px, 41px, 43px, 5px);}
{!-reverse effect on other divs !}

table table td.text div object,
table table td.text div embed {filter:none; -moz-opacity:1;}
</style>


Solution II, this one manipulates the object, instead of the containing div.

Move Player without Resizing
Method I (If you have applied a custom skin, you should use this method, or the skin will not move.)

{!-reverse effect on other divs !}
table table td.text div,
table table table div,
div table table div,
table div div {position:static; margin-left:0px;}

</style>

Method II (manipulate the object, leaving the div behind)

{!-reverse effect on myspace vplayer !}

table table td.text div object{position:static; margin-left:0px;}

{!-reverse effect on other objects you may have -!}
table table table div embed,
table table table div object {position:static; margin-left:0px;}

</style>






For the band player, when re-locating, FF now sees both object and embed as valid. This leads to double movement if you address it as both. So use only Object. However if you are re-sizing it, you must still use embed in FF. I do not know when the script myspace uses for this changed, to cause this.





For the Band 4 Song Player

<style>
{!-Size Player to Zero-!}
table table td.text embed, table table td.text object{width:0px; height:0px;}
</style>

Push player off page (Band 4 Song Player)
<style>
{!-Push player off the page-!}
table table td.text object{position:absolute; top:-500px; right:50%;}
</style>

What I want to do is remove the ugly myspace player, and place instead an MP3 player of my own choosing. This is easy, but the catch is that I still want to have text links so people can add songs to their profile, so I cannot just NOT USE the default player, because I need to have the songs on the profile in order for this to be possible. Also, I need the default player to NOT autostart, because the flash player will. Anyway I tried your options, with these results:

#1 works, but hides my flash player as well.
#2 seems to do the same thing. The code for the player includes "application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" height="155" width="218" align="middle" data="http://www.mp3asset.com/swf/mp3/myflashfetish-mp3-player.swf"

...which seems to state size, but it is hidden anyway.

#3 actually just moves it on top of my default picture, haha, and #4 won't work for what I want to do.

No idea if you check your comments, but if you do, I'd appreciate any help :)

oh, I'm putting the flash code in the BIO section, and your code in the Influences section along with all my style codes. I's LIKE to make a new table for the new player, but its not top priority.

Blogger Eileen (aka Coboble) said...

There are two basic strategies for what I believe you are asking how to do.

You could just not have a myspace default player on your page at all.
I don't mean use the hide code I show in #1, but to use the myspace menu method of removing the player from your page.
If it is the band player, you can remove all the songs.

OR
If you don't want to remove the songs, you can do this:

- Assign a unique class to the player you want to use.
i.e.
<div class="myMp3Player">
code for your player here
</div>

<style>
object, embed {display:none;}
div.myMp3Player object, div.myMp3Player embed {display:block;}
</style>

humm...I did the following, and it didn't work. I think I am doing something wrong.

1. I added your code to ditch the band player. That worked, of course.

2. I added this to my BIO where I want the player to show up (please note that I had to change the <'s to *'s or Blogger wouldnt let me post it as a comment):

*div class="myMp3Player"*
*object enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" height="300" width="310" align="middle" data="http://www.profiletweaks.com/generators/mp3-player/show.swf?user=jr23485552&baseURL=http://www.profiletweaks.com/generators/mp3-player/&type=link"*
*param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" /*
*param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /*
*param name="movie" value="http://www.profiletweaks.com/generators/mp3-player/show.swf?user=jr23485552&baseURL=http://www.profiletweaks.com/generators/mp3-player/&type=link" /*
*param name="quality" value="high" /*
*param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff" /*
*param name="wmode" value="transparent" /*
*/object*

3. Then I added this to the Influences, where the rest of my style tags are:

*style*
object, embed {display:none;}
div.myMp3Player object, div.myMp3Player embed {display:block;}
*/style*

...and it's not showing up. I tried putting the tag in the BIO as well, with the same results. I think I'm placing something incorrectly. Help me, oh sensei of code!

Does this custom player show up if you do NOT hide the default player?

Do you have an overlay, and/or have you added code to hide any page elements (besides the player).

Can you give me a link to your myspace page.
I will look at your page, and see what works on your page.

The only way to get code into a comment is to translate the tag syntax. It is tedious.

myspace.com/hellfiresociety

it seems to be working right now. I modified your code to move the player off the page entirely (before it was moving it, but not far enough) and then put the new mp3 player on. As you can see, I put links to the "add songs to profile" so as to not lose that functionality...it's a fairly important part of publicity for a band. It loads kind of slow, though...is it because its loading my player, and the myspace player? At least the myspace player isnt autostarting and making a noisy mess.

And yes, the player shows up if not hiding the default player.

Messing with band profiles is really a hassle compared to regular profiles, my own profile is myspace.com/beautydestroyed, and that was easy. Doing the same thing on the other profile has been a mess!

p.s. no idea why sometimes I can reply as Malise and other times anonymous. Sorry.

Malise,

You are using the
display:none strategy, and it is working your profile.

I am not sure your strategy to link to add your songs is working.
I will play with that tonight, and see if it is just a fluke (that I can not get them to work), or if it really has an issue.
It would be great to get this working.

I saw other interesting code in your profile as well.
Do you think it is ethical to put this on code you did not write:
(http://hellfiresociety.com) - please do not use this code without linking us!

My initial perception of your Band, after looking at your page, was that it is a group of very ethical young people, with a noble cause.

Do you think my view changed after reading through your code?

10/9/07 12:01  
Blogger Eileen (aka Coboble) said...

ok,
I figured out what is going on with your links, for someone to add song to profile.

They (myspace) is dotting out (replacing with dots) part of the address string.

songID= and songname=
are having the "ongID=" and "ongname=" replaced with dots.
I know how to get around this, but if I publish it, they are sure to shut it down.

10/9/07 13:21  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Really? When I click those links, it asks me if I want to add the song to my profile, as per usual.

The code on that page is bastardized and modified from about a dozen different sources and took me a long time to get to work together, because some code seemed to negate others. I inserted those comments because I have already found more than one person simply stealing the entire layout. Also I don't want code from a dozen different URL's advertising on the page. My intention is that when it's working properly, that I will publish a how-to so that other people can do their band profiles similarly without just ripping off my entire layout and hotlinking my images (same reason I put the band name on most of the images). If they're going to use a profile ripper, at least this way someone knows where they stole it from.

I don't mind if someone uses code, just not when they profile rip, which is what is happening.

Okay, I see the periods you mean. Guess the problem only happens when you actually go through the add process, which I hadn't. Dammit.

I added a note listing the sites I got the majority of code from, including yours. I hope this is sufficient; I'm not a coder or a web designer and am just doing this for my boyfriends' band so I'm not up on community ethics like I ought to be.

11/9/07 06:34  
Blogger Eileen (aka Coboble) said...

its cool.

There are two ways, I found, which worked to get the links to add a song to work.

1) Add Carriage returns that cut the word song across two lines.
(Amazingly enough this worked, even though the "is my Hero" worm kid used this technique. At least it doesn't work with the word script).

2) If you have your own web host (which I am guessing you do since you own a domain name) you probably have a way to set up re-directs.
I was able to set up a redirect, which accepted the whole string, and gave it a new url name which did not include the word song.
Then I was able to put the new url as a link on the myspace page.

i.e.
I took this string:
http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.addsongtoprofile_fullpage&SongID=77568413&songname=EBWTBAC&ownerID=238631988&artist=music2

which is the add link for a song on one of my test pages

I set it up as 302 redirect through my own domain name.
So the url I was linking to did not have the word song in it.

11/9/07 08:10  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Amazing. The carriage returns actually worked. The redirect is a good idea if they ever change that code - I hadn't even considered that.

Thanks again :)

interesting Blog, but unfortunately I did not find what I'm looking for.

I tried to colorize the playlist part of the ugly band-player, without some success. If I download the html-page of my myspace profile and if I edit it directly offline, then it is possible to colorize it. When I change the color parameter in the place, where the player is embedded by default, then it is function:

embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?n=aHR0cDovL211c2ljLm15c3BhY2UuY29t&t=varZx/mxU7lTlUqbkObgvmx3Wb0QNFhuJrnRT9hsNNBbqBJtpku+N3XHJsCOrQBqoPYAAn5oSXP//OgqjHb3fg==&u=LTE=&a=0&d=MjUxNjUyNzQzXjExOTEzMDQwNTI=" quality=high bgcolor=#000000 .....


But if I try it per CSS (BIO section) no success at all:


table table td.text object {bgcolor=#000000}
or
table table td.text object {bgcolor=000000 !important;}
or
table table td.text object {background-color:000000;}
or
table table td.text embed {bgcolor=#000000}
or
table table td.text embed {bgcolor=000000}
or
table table td.text embed {background-color:000000 !important;}



and other variations,...

note: in this way I can hide the player with following: "table table td.text object {visibility:hidden;}" with success!



Is there a way to colorize the playlist part of the player? When yes, how?


I do have another question. how can i place the player under the BIO-sections box dynamically, depending on the size of the Bio-Section box.
with other words, how can i flip position of the player and the Bio-Section box?



Sorry for my bad english,... thanks for any help,..

Hello,
great tutorials.

I had success resizing and moving my band player, however the position of the player is different in I.E and FF. Is there any way I can address each browser seperately? Or does anyone know a way to have them both be positioned the same?

the code I am using is: *style*{!-Size Player to Zero-!}table table td.text embed, table table td.text object{position:absolute; top:50%; margin-top:10px; left:50%; margin-left: 55px; width:330px; height:252px;}*/style*
(* = <)

and my page is www.myspace.com/yaboitestpage

thanks!

Blogger Eileen (aka Coboble) said...

YaBoi

Two things:
1) You do not use both object and embed for relocating the band player (you do to resize it, but not to relocate it).
This is confusing, and has to do with how the javascript and flash was done.

2) You don't want to use percent positioning for this. Because you are inside an outer div, which can act as a containing parent, you can get accurate positioning measuring from top left (of the containing div) in px .

i.e.
You want this:
table table td.text embed,
table table td.text object{ width:330px; height:252px;}

table table td.text object {position:absolute; top:613px; left:461px;}

Eileen, I love your site, it's been a great resource for me. I've been using your div overlay method on a band page, and now they're telling me that the myspace player is showing accurate play counts for the songs. Is this something that the div overlay method could be causing? I'm obviously showing the default player on top of my div image. I'm fairly sure that's a MySpace thing, but they're not convinced, and they claim it's my layout that is causing problems. Any advice would be great

16/1/08 06:37  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Sorry about the above post. I meant to say their player is showing inaccurate play counts for the songs. BTW does a song have to play all the way through to register as a play count? Or just start?

16/1/08 06:38  
Blogger Eileen (aka Coboble) said...

I do not see any way that having a div underlay (overlay) can cause the play count to be off.
I see no way it can effect the play count at all.

I do not think the play count is accurate anyway, div overlay or not.

I noticed that it took a few minutes (and a few page refreshes) for the count to update.

I did see the count update when I let the song play partially through in at least one test.
In another test it did not.
So maybe it depends on how long I let it play.
The play count also seemed delayed.
It seemed not to update at all, and then I would refresh again and the count would jump by 2.

As far as changing coding, to increase the play count accuracy, it is not something I have any control over.

Blogger u∃∃l!∃ said...

Jake,
The problem might be the way you hid it.
If it does not show at all, it won't play in some browsers.

Other times, it just fails, and this has nothing to do with it being hidden (without it hidden, the player seems to have an increased failure rate).

If it is hidden, you can not see if it is trying to play.

Do not use code that sizes it to zero, or moves it off the page.
Use code which sizes it down to smaller (but not zero) OR code that uses opacity to make it invisible.

I have a myspace band profile but I customized it to look more like a regular profile.

I did this because I'm currently taking a break from making music & I wanted to add a unique touch to my band profile.

I don't know if anyone else had this problem...

But today I viewed my profile & discovered that my band music player was showing automatically WITHOUT HAVING ANY SONGS UPLOADED.

This has never happened before...

I'm not sure if it was because of the code or because of changes on myspace.

But I found the following codes on here to be effective -

"For the Band 4 Song Player"
&
"Push player off page (Band 4 Song Player)"

Sadly, none of the other codes worked.

Thank you for these codes.
They help a lot.

Interesting.
I have not really kept this code, for the band player, updated.
Lots of myspace changes have occurred since I last test this code.

However, this should work

table table td.text object,
table table td.text embed {display:none;}

Put that in a style block.

Then, insure that the custom player you add, is in a class, so that you can unDo the above effect on it.

OR this might unDo the effect, if you put the code in the Bio, and did not add in any structure altering code.

table table td.text table object,
table table td.text table embed {display:block;}

That also goes inside style block.

Are you using version 1 or version 2?

There may have been changes to core myspace since I last tested this.
Or you could have other code that conflicts.

I may need to look at your page.

why are you all trying to alter the object through all that table table crap?


i'm no expert, but i know using object, embed {display:none} is probably why NO flash players show on your page, and then trying to force another object, embed to show?? i dont know why so many sites give you the table div div stuff, cause if you put a new layout on your page it's gonna throw that whole chain out of wack anyway

wouldn't it make more sense to affect the actual div where the player is?


that 1st guy, asking about making it not play... why don't you take off "autostart" in your preference? otherwise i have no idea what you mean

on my page i have the myspace playlist, the div its in is named "mini", so if yours is the other player the div might be named something else:


*div class="myMp3Player"*
code for your player here
*/div*

*style*
mini object, embed {display:none;}
div.myMp3Player object, div.myMp3Player embed {display:block;}
.whohelpedyouinyourtimeofneed {haysoos:kreest0;}
*/style*


the last line makes it work better!

give credit to Haysoos Kreest0!!!

Did you notice that the player has an ID but NOT a Class?

Therefore the
. syntax does NOT address it.

The id syntax doesn't work with myspace (not in version 1 it does in version 2).

There is alternate syntax that works in FireFox, but not IE.

So I have no idea what you are trying to do with your solution.


What do you mean by "table crap".

The more uniquely the player is address, the less potential effect on other elements, that have a different path through their parents.

Have you read through the precedence rules for css?

myspace added inline style to the div that now wraps the music player.

This should work

table table td.text div {height:auto !important;}

put that in a style block.

This will also potentially mess up any scroll boxes at the same depth.
To fix those, you need to give them their own class, and apply the style directly to the class, with !important.

Here is how I got rid of the snocap player...

log in to your band account and paste this link in your browser:

http://settings.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.changeprofile

uncheck "display my music store on my profile"

I found the link in Tom Bryant's 12-03-2008 post on myspace developers platform forum:
"Music store (snocap), what happened to the link?"

what i did to set the position in i.e. and firefox as well

was to put the music player hidden as Eileen explain in her tutorial
and than i load the music player the same way you put a youtube or a flash video "create a new div"

and than as they explain in this blog

http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:_hHzpw9GVdoJ:thumlog.com/hack-myspace-band-music-player-embed-code+music+player+firefox+band&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=uk


you load the music player for the position you want.

now for me working perfect in both explorers...

I suspect it was working for you when you tested it, but it isn't anymore.

I think that hiding and copying the player is overkill (although I used to do that for music player skins).

The solution to the positioning problem can be solved by setting the 2nd object to position static.

i.e.

if you position the player like this (this is the band player)

table table td.text div object {position:absolute; top:Ypx; left:Xpx;}

Make sure you also add this:
table table td.text div object object {position:static}

The same is true for the standard page player, but the address path to the object, is slightly different.

table table div object {position:absolute; top: ... }
table table div object object {position:static;}

They used to have an embed inside the object. Now they are using two objects (for only NON IE browsers).

You know how to do magic!
Yap that was what happen When i first try it works, but then in other computers the firefox pops up a warning window.
But with that new code lines its working perfect in both explorers.
Thanks!!!!!!

Theres more one bug i think.
Do you know why the second links line at the bottom sometimes appear over the profile info.
Its kind a strange because sometimes disappear other times it goes over the profile info!!!

Well thanks hope ear from you!!!

I used the hide music player code on my band profile, and it works fine.
And I put the reverb nation player on my profile in it's place.
It autoplays in firefox like it's supposed to, but not in internet explorer.
Why is this? The same player used to auto play, before I hid the other music player.
