OKe, you can probably use a Banner for this effect. Banners are
limited to 194x32 in size (which as you realise is none of the
available standard web banner sizes !). It'll be shown as normal if
it's less than 194x32, and cropped if it's larger than that.
To do this, first create an ASX file (a playlist) which tells the
player to reserve banner space :
<ASX version="3.0" bannerbar="fixed">
<ENTRY clientskip="no">
<TITLE>My Audio Clip 1</TITLE>
<REF HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/track_1.wma"; />
<BANNER HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/images/banner1.gif";>
<ABSTRACT>Click here to go to our Web site.</ABSTRACT>
<MOREINFO HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/advert.html"; />
<!-- The text in the Abstract element displays as a
ToolTip when the mouse hovers over the banner
graphic. When a user clicks the banner, the URL
given in the MoreInfo element opens in the
browser. -->
</BANNER>
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
You can have multiple <ENTRY /> elements, one for each piece of audio
or video media. Each ENTRY can have a different banner href (image).
You can genenrate these files easily with a database + script cause
they're so simple - in effect rotating the banner images for each
visit to the playlist.
So now you've got that file - change the paths and media URLs to your
real website, save the modified text in notepad as "All Files", say as
"myplaylist.asx" and use the ASX file as the URL for media player,
rather than the original http://www.yoursite.com/track_1.wma
HTH
