i've double checked if each song worked, and they all do.. but maybe it's because the songs are in .asf format? (and no, it's not the spaces in the URLS because the spaces only appear on here)

PLEASE HELP ME!!! =[

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH TO WHOM EVER HELPS! :)

No, it's not because of the .ASF formats. It is possible that the Darkplayer is conflicting with any other JavaScript you have on your Xanga.

try taking the ";" off the last song URL after the "

thanks so much anyways... but no those two things didn't work. i tried taking out all the javascript besides that, and it still wouldn't work....

any other ideas?

and is there an alternative to dark players?
i remember i used something before, a drop down music list, and that worked....

check out createblog.com... you can use the music links one... or the new song on refresh code =]

just to reply, i think darkplayers and drop-down playlists are same right?

yeah... they basically are.
