Playing Music
To play music with Sockso, you just have to click the little green play icons next to the music you want to listen to. What happens after you click play depends on the play type you have selected. In the top right hand corner of the screen you'll see the play options which look like this...
The default is Flash Player, which means that tracks will be played by a popup flash player right there on the website. You don't need to have another music player like iTunes or Windows Media Player to use this.
NB: The one problem with the flash player is that it can only play MP3's, so it will filter to only these tracks when playing playlists. But you can use Sockso's encoders options to re-encode music to mp3 on-the-fly! When you have this set up you can disable this filtering by setting the www.flashPlayer.dontFilterMp3s property to yes.
If you do want to use your own media player though (iTunes, WMP, Winamp, etc...) then you can select either the M3U, Pls, or XSPF options. These will send the playlist to your computer so you can use your preferred music application to listen.
