Tech Note: MP3 Audio in Comments
Stop the presses! New feature alert!
OK, maybe you don’t need to actually stop any presses, but we have a new feature in the LGF Comment Engine: embedded MP3 files. It works just like the embedded video feature: you put the URL of an MP3 file on its own line in a comment, and it will be converted to a clickable link labeled “MP3 Audio.” Click that clickable link and the MP3 player appears, with the filename of the audio file displayed above the control bar, so you have an idea what kind of audio you’re about to hear.
This means you have two chances to avoid embarrassing yourself in the office with a sudden burst of sound, if any LGF readers are browsing the site at work, which I’m sure none of you are. Ahem.
This is what the player looks like after you click the “MP3 Audio” link, using Ben Folds’s hilarious new semi-tribute to Levi Johnston (with a hat tip to Jason Linkins):
(Mild language warning: the chorus is taken directly from Levi Johnston’s posts at Facebook.)
