Gmail - Online Free Mp3 Player


Yes, it true, Google Mail (known as GMail) has its own built-in mp3 player, in fact, its an audio player, which means if someone send you an audio file, for instance, a mp3 or wma file, you can view it with google Mail built-in audio player online, you do not need to open your personal audio player ever again, consuming your ram, now you have another advantage using Google Mail, the GMail.

But that's not all, just open this link, you will see the Gmail built-in audio player:

Gmail - Online Free Audio Player
" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...e.com/audio.ogg "

There is more, imagine if you wanted to add this player to your site, wouldn' that be awesome? Wouldn't be very usefull and cool?

Yes, it would be, and it is possible, very possible, just add an iframe to your website, insert the following code into the page of your website you want to add the Gmail audio player:

The Iframe code to copy and paste:

" <iframe src=“http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf?audioUrl=http://websitename.com/audio.mp3” style=“width: 500px; height: 25px; border: 1px solid #aaa;” id=“musicPlayer”/> "

url = uniforme resource location
url = it's the adress or link to a file (audio file, like mp3, wma, ogg, et cetera) or page (index.html, index.php,m et cetera)

You can listen to mp3 files before you download, with the gmail mp3 player, just add that iframe to your site, with a link to a mp3 file in some website, and you will be able to listen to that song, you can use it to insert a background music into your website, just use you imagination!

Thats really quite good. Nice to see it uses oggvorbis files too, as that is the format I use on my P910.

Well this might backfire on them, now people send illegal music through the email without getting caught due to fact that google won't give up the info.

But it should be interesting how it pans out later on.

You are quite right Saint, it will back fire on google labs, but perhaps they already know what's coming for them, but they admit they can not stop it, as well as the music producers, they all can not do nothing to stop the violation of copyrighted songs or whatever, it is impossible, it is impossible to control the flux of data on all networks of all backbones, it just can not be done, there's always a smarter person in the yard, if you know what i mean.

Another trick i found with this discover, is that you can use your Gmail space (almost 3 GB by now) to store your mp3.

For example, you have a computer at home, and another work, and another at school, but you have your music files on your computer at home, no problem, you just log in into your Gmail account, which has 3 GB to store mp3, then you upload all the music you want to listen when you are at school or at work, just use the following code to listen to your music files, right from your email account, you just need to log in to your gmail account at work or school, and load the music name like this:

" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...ioUrl=audio.ogg "
or
" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...ioUrl=audio.mp3 "
or
" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...ioUrl=audio.wma "



You can upload the music files to your Gmail account with 2 ways:


1 - GSpace

Firefox plugin, so you need to install firefox browser and then the GSpace plugin, search at firefox extensions website or in google.com)

Link to download: http://www.rjonna.com/ext/gspace_v0.3.4.xpi



2 - Gmail Drive Shell Extension

It creates a extra drive on your computer, then you just enter your gmail username and password to log in and upload
any file, it's like a drive like your c:\ drive, but it's not, it's a virtual drive to upload files directly into your Gmail account,
using the 3 GB you have for free)

or another solution to listen to your music files at work or school, you just upload your mp3 or ogg to one of your websites, then go to the computer at work or school, and insert the link to the music files like this:


" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...l.com/audio.ogg "
or
" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...l.com/audio.mp3 "
or
" http://mail.google.com/mail/html/audio.swf...l.com/audio.wma "
