OK so this took me a while with playing around with music players to put them on Gaia and I got it worked out. So here it is:

to get the multi media player go to:

http://www.projectplaylist.com/

Then set up your playlist to what you would like. Once you have done that you need to get the code. Now I found that using the myspace code works BUT you only use a part of it. Example here is my myspace code (only use the part that I have in BOLD BLUE- you have to find this in your code):

<div style="text-align: center; margin-left: auto; visibility:visible; margin-right: auto; width:450;"><embed style="width:435px; visibility:visible; height:270px;"allowScriptAccess="never"src="http://www.playlistproject.net/mc/mp3player.swf?config=

http://www.playistproject.net/mc/config/config_black.xml&mywidth=435&myheight=270&file= http://www.playlistproject.net/loadplaylist.php?playlist=1234567" menu="false" quality="high" width="435" height="270" name="mp3player " wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0"/><BR><a href=http://www.playlistproject.net><img src=http://www.playlistproject.net/mc/images/create_black.jpg border=0></a><a href=http://www.playlistproject.net/standalone/1234567target=_blank><img src=http://www.playlistproject.net/mc/images/launch_black.jpg border=0></a><a href=http://www.playlistproject.net/download/1234567><img src=http://www.playlistproject.net/mc/images/get_black.jpg border=0></a> </div>

OK I played around with my music player and found that if you do some simple changes you can take out the white on the sides. So here is what you need to change:

Look on your code for the mywidth=435&myheight=270

and change the numbers to:mywidth=480&myheight=360

that will make the box bigger and take up the whole space on the media player

I need to stress that to get this to work have to put it in the MULTIMEDIA section. It will not work in any other area!

Also depending on what background layout you use will also determine the size of the media player. Some layouts will not let you change the width and height at all.

edit: OK I'm getting lots of questions from other Gaia people who read this that they can't find their media section. So if your having that problem please read trouble shooting below

To get the multi media click on the edit profile above and then on the right hand side of your profile (like half way down you should see the a box to view) click on the "contents" button then on you'll get a new box pop up and click the "+add" button for Media. That will give you the multimedia section. Now with your layout your music player will be smaller. It show up bigger on "classic" style layouts. Here is also a website that has layouts for Gaia - the classic ones (that show the player Tektek.org but if you use one of their layouts you will not be able to add your car or house to your profile (some show them on their profiles). The layout I currently use is a classic from that site.

If your still having problems click on my avatar (below) and I'll help you

 

OK so since I get hit up every day with kids and questions (like at least 10 a day) and since now project playlist now points to this forum for all BB Coding help and help with Gaia I figured I needed to do a trouble shooting section to this. Here are some of the most frequent questions I get:

Trouble Shooting:

Q: How come my music player is so small I changed the numbers but it now looks funny (it's not any bigger).

A: Some profiles will not let you make your player larger - requardless if you have changed the numbers. If you want it larger you may need to change your layout (background). The backgrounds I have found that work the best to get a larger player are ones from http://www.tektek.org/profiles/oldschool

Q: What if I like my layout but I want it bigger (and it won't)

A: Then keep your layout - enjoy the player (even though it's smaller) it will still play the same regardless!

Q: I'm asked this a lot: "I like your music ~ can I just use your code?"

A: No, this is my profile and my player you need to create your own!

Q: I want to update my music do I need to change my code?

A: No it will auto change as you update your profile on projectplaylist

Q: Do I have to set up a account with projectplaylist?

A: No you don't have to do anything but if you want the music on your profile then yes you do.

Q: Something is wrong with my player - it was working but now I'm getting a message on it saying it's down.

A: Well like all web sites they at times go down - Don't panic!!! Give it a chance and it will come back (If you want to click on my profile you'll see mine will probably be down too). If it's down for more than a day then go back on http://www.projectplaylist.com/ you may have to redue your code (but this doesn't happen very often).

Q: But I don't have a MULTI MEDIA section on my profile

A: Some layouts call it only a MEDIA section - it's the same thing.

Q: I got it to work but now my YOU TUBE video is gone - why?

A: Gaia will only allow one thing in your MULTI MEDIA section - so basically you have to choose (sorry it's a Gaia thing)

Q: Can I put it in my "signature" or my "about me" section?

A: Nope it will ONLY work in the MULTI MEDIA section

Q: Your "smart" do you also know how to get gold? (yes I'm asked this all the time)

A: NO NO NO NO!!!!! I don't so don't ask! But if you find the info above good and helpful feel free to donate gold to me (I have to earn it the same way you do) but you DON'T have to give me gold - I did this forum to help you out!

Q: OK this last question threw me for a loop and really made me mad! It was from a dad who was wondering who I was, why a adult is on Gaia (yes I'm a adult - I'm 39) and is this my way to meet other kids!

A: This infuriated me!!!!! Yes I am a adult! Why am I on Gaia? Because my kids are on Gaia (I'm a mom). Like any parent I want to know what my kids are doing. I am not here to make "Friends" with your child as I have my own adult friends on Gaia - I don't need to be friends with your child. I did this forum because I wanted my music player on my profile. I saw over at projectplaylist that many ppl (adults and kids) were trying to get their player on their profile but couldn't. Heck I was even approached by two moderators on projectplaylist (Luke and Tom) on how I got it to work since they were unable to. They now point ppl who have problems or need help here to this forum. So NO I am not some wacko just a mom watching HER OWN kids! Oh and don't ask me who my children are here ~ yes they know mom is here to watch them but they are my children and my business ~ I am here to protect them not to point fingers to them.

Re: Music players for Gaia

on post note for those who actually want the good way to grab the myspace player code,(needs to be from a myspace music profile though, use mine to see www.myspace.com/crommetro and try)

go to view source
the in the edit menu goto find next
and in the search use this Parameter i felt so great after words though.

but i do thank smartmom, cause it was after reading her forum, i went to look for it. yet again if anything needs to be added to this Smiling just say so. but once you find the code your good,

Re: Music players for Gaia

Hi CROM,

I decided it was in a bad taste to let the music player automatically start when this topic was opened - so you're missing a post.

If your intention was to show the actual code behind the player, please use the <code> and </code> tags.

On the bright side, I liked the music so much that I added it my profile and sent a PM to some "techno" aficionados.  So if you were marketing the music - you did well.

Cool

Re: Music players for Gaia

Ok so today I have been plagued with ppl with problems with their playlist - with a gray / white ghost image on the right side and bottom. I have no clue why. Yes one of the ppl having the problems is also my son so I logged in on his account and I can't fix it either. I did PM the one mod. Tom there (on projectplaylist) so when I do hear back I'll let you all know. I thought I would post this here since I have gotten 6 PM's about it today.

 My playlist is fine... wonder if it's because my size is altered more so with my profile than most.

Re: Music players for Gaia

Well it seems that everyone that is having a problem just added new songs to their profile. I don't know? My son never changed his code but added new songs and woo la his player in now looking strange. I'll PM you on Gaia with his ID so you can see.

EDIT: OK I got a message from Tom over there and I shot him (along with another mod there "Homie" a reply email).  I guess they now have a code for BB coding - but it's wrong.  I started another forum here (as per hubby) with a example of the problems Project Playlist - Gaia or BB Coding problems

Re: Music players for Gaia

I guess I should update this forum - projectplaylist did fix the problem with the player. HAHA they are now back to referring ppl to the forum on how to change the code.

Oh and welcome CROM monkey! Glad to see you made it here (met him on Gaia)!

Re: Music players for Gaia

Even if they made the correct coding, there's 2 other problems... 

1) Gaia still uses the HTML (as far as I know) part of the code...

2) (again as far as I know) Gaia doesn't have Flash embedding bbcoding... just very basic coding... so I don't think it'll work... because in the past I've tried to use flash bbcode... or other shtuff and it didn't work because of the format they have.

Re: Music players for Gaia

I noticed that too...

I also found out that 360 is a better height for the playlist... my last song was cut in half with the 367

Re: Music players for Gaia

Thanks I changed the info up top to 360.  I guess since I don't have my player with as many songs as you I never saw that.  I just figured it was about time that I added a trouble shooting.  I kid you not I must change the codes 10+ times a day for kids who can't figure it out.  Heck at this point I could do it with my eyes closed or in my sleep.  But it got me my angel wings (a donation) so I don't mind.

Re: Music players for Gaia

Ugh... I think I've helped 250 people with their music player... and only half the time get a 'thank you'... I don't think I'll ever see a donation lol... most of the time they just reply with: 'it works' or 'oh, okay, it's working now' ... I'm like... good for you... I guess it's my own fault though... 

when I first went to help people, I just posted the info in the forums... well, at one point one of my comments was taken down by a moderator because it slightly 'stretched' the page... so I resorted to messaging in the forums that I'll PM them... well... that in turn has gotten me random PMs begging for help... I should have just not posted anything and PMed them on my own.

Re: Music players for Gaia

WOW - I just saw that my little forum here in a month and a half has had 3035 reads

That's pretty darn good! HEHE - I just added a Trouble shooting info to the forum (see above) since I get soooooooooo many questions every single day!  Plus if you go on Projectplaylist and ask how to do the playlist in BB Coding or how to put it on Gaia they send them here.  Yep more GUG traffic - hehe!

Re: Music players for Gaia

Is there, but really small?  Try switching from "current" over to "classic" on the profile layout.  That should show the whole thing.

I just saw you PM on Gaia (I'm princessdragonwarrior) and I sent you a reply via Gaia.  You have to have the code in your MULTIMEDIA section.  It will not work in any other section.  But check your Gaia mail and let me know if you have any problems.

Re: Music players for Gaia

Question Smartmom... I'm tired and don't feel like playing around and finding out myself... kinda busy since I gotta clean my apartment... I noticed you changed your playlist... if you change it in project playlist will it automatically change in the gaia profile, or do I have to re-copy the code?

Re: Music players for Gaia

nope just change it via projectplaylist web site - the code in your profile stays the same and it will automatically update it for you.  I love it!  I have the same playlist on my myspace as on gaia!!  I update mine everyonce in a while and no problems yet!
