Any recommendations for mp3 streaming/playing module for a website?

Also think about using formats that windows media player can play by default so that people don't have to have a mp3 player (i'm not sure that wmp can read .m3u )

Also check out kplaylist, it may be of some interest to you.

kplaylist looks cool, but I think I'm most comfortable with the simplistic m3u method.  One thing to note is that I don't have much web space (free isp service), so it's not like I can keep several mp3's on the server.  I will probably keep just the one song for that month, and then replace it with the next song.

Last time I checked, wmp can definitely play m3u.  I'm sorry, but if your computer can't play an mp3 file, I would say you're not in the norm. 

Here's how the website will work, I will post the song that the musicians will analyze.  People will go to the site, listen/download the song, and post their comments in another discussion forum (not my own, it already exists).  Then, I will take all the comments and put it together in a template I have set up, and post it on my website.  Each round will be archived on the site somehow in case people want to see past results.  As far as the results, I'd like to keep them as simply formatted as possible.  If it were up to me, they'd all be simple text files, but I know that would turn some people off, so I would probably have it limited to normal rtf formatting.  I was thinking about pdf's, but pdf's always feel too bulky for me.

If anyone has some useful advice/comments, I'd appreciate it.  Especially for the template and archiving part.

(I don't know if this is still a good software, I used Dreamworks to make a couple of webpages 5 years ago!)

I meant Dreamweaver, of course.  I hate sounding like a Newbie!  Doh! :-[

It only plays 1 mp3, which you said prob suited you, but if you duplicate the swf, you can set it up to play many.
I found it at http://www.enricolai.com/flash_mp3_player/
Re displaying comments, does this sound similar to your need (replace photos with rtf docs)?
I take photos of the whiteboard at school after each lesson (about 5) and want to post them online.
So I needed a program to look in my folder of photos and create a webpage (of links) to those photos.
Thus I come out with a folder of photos plus an index.html file for those photos. It has to be done automatically, else its too tedious.
I used dirhtml from http://home.pacbell.net/nitzsche/dirhtml/dirhtml.html - a freeware program which allows for templates for the resulting index webpage.

:) Having said all that, I then wrote an autokey script to do basically the same thing for me (Im not crazy, there was a reason, namely I wanted more control over the template). If you go to my website (http://tony.dcmembers.com) -> school in the menu, you'll see a very unpretty but it works set of examples
If you want any more info, pm or email me
