Play Twitter allows you to easily play mp3 files directly on Twitter or Identi.ca. MP3 links will automatically become playable right on the page.

Click here for a video explaining how to use Play Twitter.

A playable link will look this this:

http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/example1.mp3

Drag this link: playTwitter up to your Bookmarks Toolbar (or right-click and choose Bookmark This Link or Add to Favorites) and when you're on a page with links to mp3s, click this button.

When you see a link that looks like one of these, click the "playTwitter" bookmarklet:

• Ends with .mp3, like http://example.com/my.mp3
• Has "play" before it, like play http://example.com, and is a web page that has links to MP3s.
• Is at a URL shortening service for music, like http://tra.kz or http://song.ly

Then, when you are on a Twitter entry in that format, select the bookmarklet.

Play Twitter started out as a modification by Lucas Gonze of del.icio.us PlayTagger by Dan Kantor. After a while the player was switched to Yahoo Media Player. Then Ty White created @playTweets.

If you can help write adapters to make an unsupported URL shortening service or media type work, we want you!
