TomatoCart

Is there a way to use this cart to sell MP3 tracks or full albums? and for each track there will be a sample "taste" track?

The downloadable product have the option sample file and file so you can put the "taste" track in the sample file and the full albums in the real file.

Instead of downloading the sample track and play it on our computer, can we have an actual player?

What you can do is add an sample file and change the following code in /templates/glass_gray/content/products/info.php to embed the player

starting at line 87


What you can do here is embed the file

Thank yiou for your great input. I added a folder name jukebox to the includes folder with a swf player and JS file to run it. here is your code with the player

if ($osC_Product->isDownloadable() && $osC_Product->hasSampleFile()) {
?>
<tr>
<td colspan='2'>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="includes/jukebox/player.swf" id="audioplayer0" height="24"

width="290">
<param name="movie" value="includes/jukebox/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars"

value="playerID=0&amp;bg=0xF7F7F7&amp;leftbg=0x7C4F16&amp;lefticon=0xEDECD7&amp;rightbg=0xA7AE80&amp;rightbghover=0x666666&amp;righticon=0x666666&amp;righticonhover=0xA7AE80&amp;text=0x4F4F4F&amp;slider=0x7C4F16&amp;track=0xFFFFFF&amp; border=0x7C4F16&amp;loader=0xE2ECAF&amp;loop=no&amp;autostart=no&amp;soundFile=media/tracksample.mp3">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
</td>
<?php echo $osC_Product->getSampleFile()); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}


I want the sample file to be a variable in the player, right now in the sample I have it hard coded as tracksample.mp3. Also what about an album with multiple tracks, I want them to show up one on top of the other.

You should check the Product class to get this sample file's filename. I think the class is located in includes/classes/. There should be a method to get the sample file from the product (something like getSampleFile()). Invoke that method to get the filename and echo it in your value of the flash player (at the end -> soundFile).

For multiple songs I don't think this is yet possible, because you only can set one sample file. In the next release you'll have product attachments wich you can use for multiple files.
