I decided to have some fun today and redesign my radio page (I have a sick idea of what fun is). I also added some new soundtracks in the process. Here’s a screenshot in case the text isn’t convincing enough:
The page uses the latest version of Jeroen Wijering’s excellent MP3 Player and jQuery to overlay the links with actions so that each playlist can be loaded without refreshing the whole page. That’s a key thing about it… it works with or without Javascript. It was actually easier to design it that way than to put messy onclick handlers on all the links!
The next step would be to find a nice “flip” script to make the images on the left look like a CD changer, but I spent enough time trying to get a carousel script to work so I’m not going to stress it. Anyway, in case you were ever wondering, this is the music I listen to at work and it really helps me stay focused (considering that it’s all music and no words). You can listen to it too… I’m not about to be greedy.
Share your favorite soundtrack from the batch in the comments… think of it as an informal poll.

Responses to my articleI haven’t heard some of those themes in years. Thanks.
Oh and the page is nice to.
That is awesome. But those albums… Star Fox?! Well, I enjoyed quite a few of them. Nice work.
Starfox, good choice! My favourite would be Thunderforce 3, really fits in well with the game. There’s a couple of youtube videos of someone playing the songs on a piano, really well done
