Hello fellow WP fanatics, designers & developers,
I am an amateur to moderate WordPress designer/developer currently working on a website for a musician client.
Upon exploring desired website functionality, my client and I found the implementation on this website to be very close to what we would like to achieve: LessThan3.
You’ll notice that the posts include track listings, each with a ‘play’ & ‘add to playlist link’, that begin to stream or add to the track que respectively. They send the request to a JavaScript media player that is positioned at the bottom of the browser window and streams music uninterrupted as a visitor browses the website and adds tracks to the playlist. Furthermore, there is a link associated with each track in the media player that, in turn, opens the full post associated with the track for commenting.
I realize this is more of a general web development query, however, the LessThan3 website is also built on WordPress. This is, in my opinion, one of the smoothest blog/music website implementations I’ve experienced. I am comfortable delving into code and figuring things out, however, have not dealt with this type of situation before.
– Can anyone give me some insight on how I would achieve something similar?
– Can you determine if the uninterrupted media player is utilizing iframes, javascript div toggling or another method?
Thank you,
Darin
