Web designers, please could you give me some pointers?

Can someone have a quick look at the code on my index page and help me out?

www.protoangel.com

Having trouble with my embedded flash player. Tried 3 different methods, and this one is 70% there.

This is where I downloaded the player from.http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_MP3_Player

I also tried this one to no avail! --- http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/

The playlist works with a cool VBS script where you drag the folder containing the songs onto the vbs script file, and off you go! Amazing!

Got it from here http://www.iol.ie/~craigcharlie/blog/index.html

However - I can't work out how to show the track names or an image on the player for each song(where the white arrow is), despite following various instructions (probably inaccuarately) but its a bit beyond me.

***

Slide show prog?

Also can you recommend a slide show object to use? (Rather than using the imageshack one, I'd rather have one on my site.

Cheers in anticipation, and thanks for your generous spirit as usual!

Andy

i am not a web designer really but i had a look at your code.
here is the part in question that you must be having problems with:

HTML Code:
<object width="229" height="50"
  classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/
  shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">
<param name="movie" value="mp3player.swf" />
<embed src="mp3player.swf" width="229" height="50"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=
  "http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
  <param name="flashvars" 
  value="file=If I could.mp3&autostart=true" /></object>

the part i would look at is the "flashvars" part:

HTML Code:
<param name="flashvars" 
  value="file=If I could.mp3&autostart=true" />
this code is acceptable but i was wondering whether it might be causing you trouble because the file name has spaces in it...?
for example, try naming the file:

If_I_could.mp3

instead of the version with spaces between the three words.
the reason i think this might be a problem is that you have the flashvar autostart set to true and when i open your website, the music does not automatically begin to play as it should when the autostart setting is 'true'.

that may not work or be helpful at all, but without seeing the structure of your directories i can't tell if there are any file-path related issues that may be to blame (although i don't think that's it).

who designed your website? i noticed it was mostly done in tables...

hope this helps. if it doesn't then oh well, i tried...
and btw, i like your music!! sounds great


cheers.
