Audio Player to preview MP3s

[Yolanda]

I have wrecked my brain for the last 3 hours and can't get this done. I am setting up a site for downloadable mp3s. Am using 1.3.9h. Need to have a preview option for each song offered. Been thru the searches and looked at options but I just don't know what the best scenario is and what works.

Tried to work with the media manager, linking up a clip with a song etc. and yes, I have followed some of the instructions I found but.. it is not working. So.. what is the best audio player/method to use to get previews to play for each song and how do I go about this?

I recall using Wimpy in the past and that worked, but I cannot duplicate this anymore. Besides, not sure if that is the best option anyway. What are some of you using and I'd be grateful if you steered me into the right direction. Details please. Becoming brain dead.
Thanks much
Yolanda

I did Misty and it's not working. I followed this tutorial! Got my clips in the media folder, the mp3s zipped up, the media manager has a 'collection', I add the audio clip to collection, I then assign it to product and 'nothing'. It shows as a 'linked clip' in the collection but not as a connected one. Keeps showing '0'. And nothing plays of course. Besides, no mention of a player here. Will that be someone's default player? Opening up in a new window? I need more details on this.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the link and I did read that too. This is old stuff, like 2 years old. They are talking about the wimpy player at first (which I can't get working) but then I looked at this guy's website and it appears he's using a wp audio player... I need a similar set up i.e: list of all audio downloads on one category page with a preview button next to each.. Not a preview when one clicks on an individual audio file to download....

Anyway... I am also familiar with the bug that still exists in the media manager when only one category is there. I've got 2 categories just because of that for now.

First though, I cannot get a file to be assigned to a collection, which I tried again and it says: 0 linked products, even though the file is uploaded. It sounds simple enough but it's not working....??
