Bernard, I made my themes myself since I wanted something unique. I'm not
very good at HTML & CSS, but I just started with one of the standard themes
and modified it till it looked the way I wanted. It's not that hard if you
have the patience.... or, you could always pay someone to make you a custom
theme.

Joe, those pipelines you set up are awesome. Thank you so much for putting those together. I just finished putting my music log together. http://lionsden.tumblr.com

I wanted to ask you, where did you get the custom script that makes your Tumblr look so snazzy? I'd love to fix my other Tumblelog up. Thanks again!

philou, i added the feed to my friendfeed page a while ago. i like it, but there are a few things i want to change. i plan to make a version of the feed specifically for friendfeed that will include some additional stuff. stay tuned!

Hey! the RSS looks great in Friendfeed as well: they have a player there so it's a great addition! I just added my loved tracks from the other pipe as a "blog feed" and it works just as I thought it would! thanks for the Yahoo pipe!

Cool. You could modify the Pipe if you know how to do that. Another option, which is probably much easier and might look better, is to use the Yahoo! Easylistener sidebar widget to play your Tumblr page instead of that javascript you're using. Go to this page:

http://next.yahoo.net/archi...

Enter your Tumblr URL as the "playlist URL", customize the size and color of the player, copy the code, and paste it into your blog template.

I put this up as a sidebar plugin at http://Youarekillingme.net using the tublr javascript. Love it! Any ideas for taking the post track title out so it just displays once?

sparkles or joe, it would be great if sparkles' Pipe could be combined with the Loved Tracks Pipe?

Hey Todd, the player is working ok for me on LastButNot, but the tracks on your site aren't working. I don't think the issue is the player. Rather, it's the MP3 files that your page is pointing to. The way this thing works, it searches for a MP3 on Seeqpod and posts a link. The problem is that sometimes the site that hosts the MP3 file removes the track from their site at some later point. Some sites automatically remove MP3's after a few days so that they avoid possible legal issues. So, it's not uncommon that a few tracks on your page won't play. A good way to see if that's the problem (vs. some other issue) is to click on the MP3 link from your page and see if the track appears in your browser. If you get an error message, it means that the track was removed from the site my Pipe linked to earlier. I wish I had a way of updating the links in that case, but I don't now.

Hope that helps. If you give it some time, your site will probably pick up some active links. In my experience, the links work probably 70-80% of the time.

Glad you like it. Interesting modification too. I think I like mine with just MP3 links, but I do like that your version provides a more complete view of your listening habits, whether the MP3's are available or not. Nice job!

Howdy Joe,

The steps you outlined worked great, thanks very much!
My site is here: http://sparklesbian.tumblr....

I modified the pipe so it adds an item if an mp3 can't be found. It's here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipe...

Cheers!

Cool, I'll check that out. Tumblr should build their own search engine.
