Dr. Steven Estrella of Shearspire, Inc. has created the Shearspire MP3 Player as a memberware product. You must be a member of MakePages.com or a student of his to use the Shearspire MP3 Player on your Web site.
Here is a sample MP3 file embedded on this page using the Shearspire MP3 Player. The SWF file, joplin.swf, that loads on this page is quite small (only 12 kilobytes). The actual MP3 file, joplin.mp3, is not downloaded until the visitor clicks the play button.
