I seem to remember that older versions of music solutions allowed putting a flash player next to each song on the album page. I was trying to find that in the latest version of MC for joomla 1.7 and could not seem to find that option. Does that option no longer exist?
If not, is there a way to make the play button next to the songs switch over to a stop or pause button when the song is playing. Or at the very least, make it so that the player only plays one song, instead of playing the whole album list? Preferably, not allowing one to play multiple songs at the exact same time.

0that option was eliminated on the latest version beacuse it was too heavy (a lot of flash players in one page...)
to play only one song we would need to change the players configuration so it's not "continuous", but then you will loose this ability also if playing the songs clickin on the flash player itself.. -

0Yeah, I already had to remove the repeat list var from the jw plugin so that MC would only play a single song and then stop. My users don't like everything playing when all they did is click a play button next to a song. It is not an expected behavior. A much better solution to play a whole album, is to have a play all button instead. That way the user can quickly play a single song if they so desire, or play a full album.
The reason I was looking into the flash next to the song was to make the play button change states. It would be nice if when a person hits play next to a song, the button changes from the play button to a pause button, and clicking the button again will stop the song. Instead of having to move up the player to stop it. That way it has more of a normal feel. Something along the lines of the amazon.com player. I guess another option is to use the javascript api for jw player and have the listener be used to change the state of the button and the graphic tied to it. -

0I changed the jw plugin value from list to none to avoid the whole playlist from playing. This allows for only the song to be played, instead of the whole page. Leaving the playlist functionality to the jw module where it shows a playlist and makes more sense to play the full playlist. I have not yet worked on updating the buttons to change from play to pause/stop states.
I have been busy writing the code to show the current Title, Artist, and Album info of what is playing above the player. I got this working on my test site, just need to migrate it over to my live site now. -

0I made this change some time ago on my live site. You can see it in action at http://kevinbluemel.com/music/studio-albums/kevin-bluemel
It has been a while since I made that change. I believe what i did was go to the plugins\\muscolplayers\\jwplayer\\jwplayer.php and just deleted the repeat entry at around line 178.
So just delete this line:
repeat: 'list',
That way by not including that parameter, the repeat defaults back to none. You could even change 'list' to 'none' if you did not want to delete that line and that theoretically should work as well.
