Playlist module released
Over the last little while I’ve been working on a playlist module for Drupal. Farsheed was also working on a playlist module. So we have combined forces and now present to you the fruit of our labours: The new, improved, ass kicking playlist module.
Features include:
- support for mulitple playlist formats, including xspf, m3u, pls
- podcastable playlists
- AJAX ordering of audio tracks
- multiple ways to add an audio track to a playlist
- For the geeks in the crowd, playlists are implemented as a new node type.
Farsheed has set up a nice demo site where you can go and kick tires a bit, but you have to sign up first to create your own playlists. Enjoy!

I’ve been building a music web site that mostly deals in playlists and also uses xspf extensivly. Your drupal module looks like a similar project. I wrote the framework I’m using from scratch, so it would probably be hard to roll any of this together, but it is good to see other people using xspf. You might check out the site (http://mfdz.com) for various ways you could implement an xspf flash player (the open source one: http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/) as popup links from your drupal module.

Chris,
I love the mfdz site! Nice work!
The playlist moduel for Drupal is designed to work hand in hand with the audio module, which adds the XSPF flash player you mentioned above to your site. So it’s already there… But good idea non the less!… Still need to do some work integrating the player wih the XSPF feed, but it’s coming along.
Thanks for the comment!
