What is it?
This BB code adds the ability to add music albums to your forum and allow your users to listen to them while browsing your forum. The music displays in a pop-up media player hosted by Rhapsody and is minimizable. This can be used on 3.5 aswell.
What does it look like?

Or see the attached screenshot.
How does it work?
First go to
www.rhapsody.com and search for the artist you want. Then click on one of the artist's albums of your choice. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the orange RSS feed button. There should be a number sequence in the url. Copy the numbers and add it between the BB code in a post on your forum.
How do I install?

Limitations:
Only works in IE, FireFox, Netscape and Safari. Does
not work in Opera.
Users are limited to arround 20 listens per month. This means 20 albums
not songs. Users can play the same album/song over again without using a listen credit (from my testing).
