Musica! online
I just finished a project for my Interactive Digital Media class, and I'm calling it "Musica!" as it highlights several of my favorite music artists as well as a few of my own DJ mixes. Complete with nearly 5 hours of streaming audio and a unique Director interface, take a stroll through mi casa de la musica and enjoy the sights and sounds.
Unfortunately, Mozilla and Netscape both have problems with Shockwave streaming audio as I was unable to get it working in either of those two browsers. So, please use Microsoft's Internet Explorer for best results.
Update: Add Safari to the list of incompatible browsers, and only use IE version 6 or above. Well ok, so this isn't the most accessible project I've ever done, but it really is a cool interface if you have the right configuration. And what's up with these browsers not able to support Shockwave streaming audio? It's not like Shockwave is a new thing. I wonder if it has anything to do with Acacia Media Technologies and their nefarious streaming media patent claims? Nah.
Click on the house, or just click here.
Well, you're right about it not working in browsers other than IE... Safari begins to stream the music and then cuts off. Unfortunately, even though IE is able to stream the music correctly, on my Mac it seems to crash after a little while playing around with your presentation. It's extremely annoying. I'm going to have to utilize my roommate's pc to get the full effect. :-(
Well it works on IE6 on Windows. :-\
Thanks Ted for trying it out and providing the feedback. I will add "Use IE Version 6 or above" to the main screen of the app.
I'm wondering if the compatibility issues will affect my grade? =/
