So you didn't just want something that looks like a Windows Media Player, you wanted Windows Media Player itself.

jeeves i worked it out. this is what i mean

<object id="MediaPlayer" classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" 
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112" 
type="application/x-mplayer2" width="320" height="285">
<param name="autostart" value="true" />
<param name="src" value="<?php echo $dir."/".$file; ?>" />
<embed width="320" height="285" src="<?php echo $dir."/".$file; ?>" autostart="true" type="application/x-mplayer2" >
</embed>
</object>

So you'd like your own

So you'd like your own Windows Media Player that can be embedded into a Web page? You'd need some Flash experience, and it would take some work (unless Coppermine allow you to use theirs).

But, why would you want to duplicate the look of Windows Media Player, what's so special about it? Their interface isn't that great in the first place and duplicating it is just going to look like a cheap rip-off (IMO).

There are several (Flowplayer for example) free Flash media players out there that you could put into your site for far less effort. People aren't going to have trouble with using a media player that doesn't look like the one in Windows, trust me.
