Features

The main goal of afAMP/Framaplayer was to replace the RealPlayer Audio plugin and our RealAudio sounds files (more than 1000) on our websites. So we start to develop afAMP with the following features.

afAMP Features

• Ease of plugin installation (contrary to RealPlayer)
• No ads into plugin (contrary to RealPlayer)
• No firewall issues (contrary to RealPlayer)
• "Really" cross-browser compatible integration (contrary to RealPlayer)
• Ligthweight and cpu resources optimized (contrary to RealPlayer)
• Play multiple mp3 sound files...
• ... of different size/length...
• ... on the same webpage (or different if using frames)
• Sound information (position, buffer, time remaining,...)
• Sound manipulation (play/stop/pause, live repositioning, volume control...)
• Bandwith detection and adaptative buffering to be (almost) sure that the audio file wouldn't stop during playing
• Sound files may be passed by Javascript, so there's no need to edit the .fla source file or the Flash player snippet code.
• Ease the interface modification (buttons, colors, elements)
• Language independent
