I need to stream music from several different external sources (some of the files will also be internally on the website as well).
We use Facelets; you must have experience with Facelets.
Depending on whether the file is a music file or a video file, there are different ways that the media file will be played:
1) Someone clicks on the play button next to a music file (single image next to the song) and this will activate the embedded flash player. The flash player will not be displayed. The person will just start to hear the music. If the person wants to stop the music, they can press the stop image button that will replace the play button after they click on the play button. Once the song stops playing, the stop button will turn back into a play button.
2) Someone clicks on the play button next to a video file (single image next to the video file) and this open up the flash player in a small, new, window. The video will play, and the user will have full play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, stop controls.

Most of the external files have the extension .mp3, .wmv, .mov, .wav, etc for example. However, musicnow has a unique way of playing music. Here is a sample link: <http://www> dot musicnow dot com/servlet/play?id=12915647 (change the dot to a .).
They have documentation here to will hopefully help explain: http://aol (dot) musicnow (dot) com/media/developer/[login to view URL]
Knowing how to play music from musicnow will help determine which flash player you should choose to implement. We have not selected a flash player yet, we would like your recommendation.
We will provide a long sample list of files so that you know what kinds of media files to expect to play.
