Embed An Album

Is there a way to embed an entire album instead of just being able to embed a single song? I use to use the old virb flash player on my own personal site and it allowed me to play all my songs on my site. Now that player is gone and nobody can listen to my music. I would prefer to be able to load a whole album instead of having to embed each song individually.

go to the album edit area and you will see a check box for embed whole album and a code link next to that. Copy the code and it should be good.

It's not as good you'd like and probably think I and I! It actually doesn't work as it should.

1. The embed code occasionally crashes IE8 (and possibly IE7) instantly before it even tries to load a page that has the album embed code. That in part has to do with the Flash plugin inconsistencies but still... In my case I have it on the front page and people can't even visit the site...

2. Songs other than 1 work in continuity but not when click directly on them.
IE give the following javascript error when one clicks on song 2 to x:
Line: 1
Character: 1
Code: 0
Error Message: 'this.getFlashMovie(...)' is null or not an object

There must an issue along the line of the problem as described here:

3. Cookies from Virb are blocked by IE (Internet Explorer), even with default medium security settings because Virb.com doesn't have p3p policy.

Frankly I am very disappointed in Virb for the lack of action and seeing these bugs. I have made two bugs reports a month ago, no answer received and still no fix.

If you guys at Virb want bands to use Virb, please fix that album audio player embed code or else I'll have to forget about Virb and certainly not recommend it. I have been working two days to troubleshoot these crashes and bugs, and still can't have something working reliably. It's driving me nuts.

Before your make an IE toolbar please fix the other IE bugs like those above. Thank you

The crashing should be fixed now for IE8. Also the second issue is fixed as well. Sorry about those issues!
