[ Media Guide ]Billy (Sheep Productions)
The following is a summary of the original Billy Media Guide.
Check out the website at: http://www.sheepproductions.com/billy/
Why use Billy?
Personally I wouldn't actually advocate Billy due to some problems the mp3 host file site has been having, but it is a nice option to make a minimized player which allows you to display the title of the song currently playing. The player does not allow for color customization, so you're stuck with a generic "look".

Creating your PlayerIt's a bit of a tricky process and requires downloading some songs and re-uploading them on other sites, but don't give up!
Obtaining your mp3 Files
If you already have some mp3 files saved on your computer which you want to use, you can use those.
Otherwise, if you want to use songs from Youtube (a popular media site), use the Youtube to mp3 converter
Uploading your mp3 Files
There are a few different host sites out there which let your upload mp3 files:
Clyp requires you to create an account, but might delete some of your songs due to copyright
Once you upload/find a "sound" you like, click the "Advanced" tab and copy the Direct MP3 Link
kiwi6 is another option which also requires an account, but is somewhat more reliable
Files can be uploaded on the "File Manager" page, then copy the "Direct Hotlinks" URL
Due to a policy change for Dropbox, it appears you can no longer use this option
Once you have your mp3 urls (remember: they should all end in .mp3) paste them into Billy and change the names to what you want!
Getting your Embed Code
Once you have uploaded all of your mp3 files, click the "Generate Code" button at the bottom of the page.
You will be given a code similar to this:
" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="200" height="10" name="billy" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
Copy that part in green, paste it into the URL field of your media panel, update, and Save!
NOTE: If your URL is too long, you may need to convert it to a tinyurl in order to make it work.

Billy ParametersIf you don't want to use Billy's generator, you can really just build your player yourself.
The base url is: http://www.sheepproductions.com/billy/billy.swf -- from there, just add on your parameters like normal.
autoplay
true = The player will start automatically once the page is loaded
false = the player will not play music until you click the "Play" button
f#
This determines the file url of the mp3 file.
f0 is the first file, and each song which follows is given the next highest number (f1 is the second song, f2 is the third song, etc.)
Accepted values are any direct mp3 urls
t#
This determines the title url of the specified mp3 song
t0 is the first song, and each song which follows is given the next highest number (t1 is the title of the second song, t2 is the title of the third song, etc.)
Accepted values are any string (whitespace allowed)
total
Determines the total number of songs on the player. Accepted value is any number.

CSS Theme Override CodesSome extra codes you might want to consider adding to your CSS box...
Selector Names
v1 (Classic) profiles: #multimedia embed
v2 (Current) profiles: .media_panel object
Cropping your Player
{height: 10px; width: 250px;} = The standard size for the player
250 can be increased/decreased to adjust the length of the bar
Coloring your Player
As stated earlier, this player does not allow you to change its colors.
However, it is possible to slightly tint it to a different hue by changing the opacity of the object/embed and then changing your media panel's background to a different color (make sure to remove the panel header and padding)
