Embeds the Yahoo! Media Player music plugin into your site to play back media links (music and video) and monetize purchases via Amazon.
== Description ==
The Yahoo! Media Player plugin embeds a media player on your page in a collapsible drawer. This player allows your users to play embedded links on your page to music files, YouTube videos, and Yahoo! movie pages.
Also, you can provide an Amazon Affiliate Code to monetize purchases made via the plugin.
You can find more information on the player at: http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/beta/
== Installation ==
1. unzip the file
2. drag the created folder it into: wp-content/plugins
3. activate the plugin from the 'Plugins' tab by selecting the 'Yahoo! Media Player'
4. choose where the code should be placed (header or footer). placement in the footer may improve page load times, but may not work with certain themes.
5. change the version of the player through the 'Yahoo! Media Player' section under 'Options' (optional)
6. enter in your Amazon affiliate ID (optional)
7. add audio links to your page. for example, something like:
* Yodel (mp3 link)
* Tron (Yahoo! Movie link)
* Zoetrope (YouTube link)
8. the player will detect these audio links, render a play button next to the media, and include the media in the playlist
9. enjoy :-)
