As you may or may not have noticed there is a new little block on my site, "Now Playing". This block ties into Jinzora (Demo Here), the web based media jukebox that I've been writing for over a year now. The add-on will be included in the upcoming Jinzora 1.1 and is available in the latest beta build of Jinzora 1.1 (.zip | .tar.gz)

The add-on is very easy to configure, however you'll have to convert some of your templates to .php (make sure your server supports php before you try this) and add some code into one of your templates where you want the add-on to display. Since it's a dynamic page you don't have to update your site just to get the latest information to display, it will pull in real time each time the page is loaded. Jinzora tracks each file that a user plays and therefore can be tied into like this.

As this add-on is very new please post in our Support Forums and let us know about any issues you encounter. Good luck, happy listening and happy blogging!

Jinzora is the premiere open source web based media jukebox. Use Jinzora to stream your media to anywhere, demo your band, run a local web based media jukebox, impress your friends, get dates (well, that may be a stretch...)
