Greetings to everybody.
I'm trying to set up a website for a radio station and i need to display a media player at the front page with SOME of the day's shows.
All shows are automatically saved as mp3. No website module is involved in this process.
So i need to manually pick some of them and import them (i guess?) to drupal so as they are enlisted in the media player, ready to be streamed (i'd like to have them streamed, but if download is easier/feasible, it'll be ok too..).
Can someone give me an idea of how that could be accomplished? What modules should i use?
I will be waiting for your help.
Thanks in advance.

SWF Player/JW Media
You might find the SWFTools module useful. It allows you to use JW Media Player with a pretty simple tag inside of your nodes and blocks. The JW Media Player is widely supported, inexpensive to license (for profit licensing required only - NPO's free), and supports playlists with images, as well as a bunch of great Flash vars.
Best of all, SWFTools supports having a host other than your webhost deliver the media. So you can use a capable streaming host for these files and keep your Drupal web host separate.
You will have to look around for the installation documentation - it lives in two or three places on the Drupal site, but contact me directly if you ge stuck.
You can also embed the JW Media Player without SWFTools. Good luck with the Javascript on that one.
use the audio & station
use the audio & station module, enable the swf player that come s bundled with audio. have all new audio promote to the front page (perhaps as a sticky).
Thank you both for
Thank you both for replying.
I followed the audio & station solution that eric suggested and i think it's gonna work just fine.
