Standalone is any player running by itself in parallel with the browser.
So: different application windows would be visible onscreen.
Embedded playback would be exactly like that page on my site.
At this point I think I've helped identify the source of your confusion.
Since you're on Windows 2000, your questions aren't really relevant to
this
Windows Vista newsgroup, and they're not really anything requiring any
level
of technical expertise that I might luckily/hopefully have, so I will
salute
you on this fine day and hope you enjoy browsing in a little less
confusion.
If you have further questions, I'm sure others could provide excellent
answers. =)
Cheers,
-Zach

Now that we have established that I was thinking about the Media Bar
which
is now obsolete, and that the link you provided is an example, please
provide
me with examples of "Now your options would be standalone or
embedded-using-some-player playback."
For a "standalone", do you refer to players such as WMP, WinAmp,
RealPlayer?
And for "embedded-using-some-player playback."?
:
Yeah, it's just a very old sample page that used invalid URLs so
people
could replace them with their own URLs. I was just using it as a
point
for
visual comparison. =)
Thanks. Happy MLK Jr Day. =)

Yes, you are correct about the media bar. I apologize for not
making
it
clear in my previous post.
I copied your link into IE 6 SP1 & FF 3.0.0.5 [ on a Win 2000 Pro
SP4
PC].
The page displayed, but when I clicked on the link beneath the
player
screen,
I was taken to
http://server/file.asx, with a notice, in IE, of "The
page
cannot be displayed".
I mention the above ONLY as FYI. I am very grateful for the
information
you
provided.
Thank you, also, very much for the WMP FAQ!

I don't know what you're trying to do and am under lots of
time-constraints.
So here's an ugly embedded player page:
http://zachd.com/pss/samples_HTML/allbrowser.htm
You should use Paint to draw a picture of what you're trying to do
and
then
upload that to flickr or something like that so we can understand
you.
I'm pretty certain so far that you're referring to Media Bar
functionality
that was removed several versions ago.

Please give me an example of an embedded player.
Thanks for the information.

Do you mean directly within the old Media Bar? That feature was
removed
several versions ago. Now your options would be standalone or
embedded-using-some-player playback.

I posted this issue, 04 Jan 2009, in the IE forum, but there
have
been
no
replies, so I am posting here. I apologize if I have erred in
my
decision.
Months to years ago, IE would inform me that a streaming audio
[ &
perhaps
video ] file could be played within IE.
Is is possible to configure IE 7, on Vista SP1 to do this? If
so,
how?
I
looked through IE 7's internet options > advanced tab.
To the best of my knowledge, I have never used IE 7 on a Vista
PC
to
play
a
streaming audio or video file.
Thanks for your time.
