			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-529" title="yahoo! media player" src="http://www.ccastig.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-21.png" alt="yahoo! media player" width="302" height="51" align="right" />In general, I&#8217;m <a href="http://www.ccastig.com/2009/03/24/yahoo-shortcuts-is-annoying/" target="_blank">not a big fan</a> of anything Yahoo!, but the <a href="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo! Media Player</a> is actually a really cool and easy way to stream music from your site. The only unfortunate thing is that there is a <a href="http://yahoomediaplayer.wikia.com/wiki/Requests_and_Ideas" target="_blank">long list of to-do&#8217;s on the Yahoo! wiki</a> (some of which should be standard).</p>
<h3>Trackseek, Trackresume, Trackfocus Hacks</h3>
<p>The good news is that this guy <a href="http://fehrenbacher.com/technology/code/ymp-trackseek/" target="_blank">Eric Fehrenbacher</a> developed a few amazing hacks, but for some reason the hyperlinks to the javascript files arent&#8217; available and he hasn&#8217;t been replying to comments.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to get these hacks to work on <a href="http://danceatthepostoffice.com/">my other site</a>, so I went ahead and extracted the .js files. Copy these files and then link to them in your HTML header:</p>
<p><strong>This code is necessary for all 3 hacks:</strong></p>
<pre class="brush: php;"><a href="http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/ef.ymp.utilities.js" target="_blank">http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/ef.ymp.utilities.js</a>
</pre>
<p><strong>And then you can choose which extension(s) you want:</strong></p>
<pre class="brush: php;"><a href="http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackseek.js" target="_blank">http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackseek.js</a>
<a href="http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackresume.js" target="_blank">http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackresume.js</a>
<a href="http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackfocus.js" target="_blank">http://www.danceatthepostoffice.com/js/trackfocus.js</a>
</pre>
<p>I&#8217;m not taking any credit (or responsibility) I just extracted the code. Please don&#8217;t deep link to these files, copy the code to your own server, and then also check back with <a href="http://fehrenbacher.com/technology/code/ymp-trackseek/" target="_blank">Eric&#8217;s site </a>in the future as he&#8217;ll hopefully be making updates.</p>
<h3><strong>How To Remove &#8220;Learn More About This Player&#8221;</strong></h3>
<p>Also, I couldn&#8217;t figure out how he got rid of the &#8220;Learn More About This Player&#8221; link. So I made up my own simple hack with CSS, just add this to your stylesheet or header:</p>
<pre class="brush: css;">&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#ymp-relevance {
visibility: hidden;
}
&lt;/style&gt;
</pre>
