Hey, I've made a web based audio player that uses flash (for the player), xml (for the playlist) and php with sql (to generate the xml file relevant to an individual user).
the user browses to their "playlists page" that has a lisit of tracks per playlist.
when they press play - an xml file is created and then the user downloads this file with the flash player which plays their custom selected tracks.
everyones xml playlist gets written to 1 file from the server. I did this because I thought it would be better than having 100's of thousands of playlist files on the server.
But is this a good method or a bad method? one of the guys here says its not good because what if people click play at the same time?
This is a temporary measure for the next few months until we get the proper site up and running but I cant imagine the chances of people clicking the play button within 0.005 seconds?
Anyone wanna give a view?
