If you are looking for a convenient and unobtrusive audio player for your web pages, Yahoo! Media Player provides a lightweight and fast solution for your visitors to listen various audio files without leaving the current page or load Windows Media Player.

Yahoo! Media Player is a versatile tool that instantly transforms the links to audio files found on a web page into a playable list by adding an embedded player for every link.

Yahoo! Media Player can be enabled into any web page containing links to audio files only by pasting the following line of HTML code in a suitable location inside your page:

<script src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js" type="text/javascript"></script>

This piece of code will add an yellow button in front of your audio links or anchors. When you click the button, the Yahoo! Media Player will appear and the song starts automatically.

Yahoo! Media Player provides to webmasters many advantages, besides the fact it is lightweight and unobtrusive with the rest of web page content. For example, you can add the album image, which will be shown in the player. In the same time, the playlist can be customized by defining a certain XSPF file.

Regarding the implementation options, Yahoo! Media Player does not require advanced programming knowledge, because all the necessary settings are specified through HTML code.

An extensive documentation and quick recipes on how to customize Yahoo! Media Player is available here.
