:confused: My Own Media Player
I have designed an audio media player by using VB-8. However, I am not too sure which of the files that VB 8 created to put in the website. The media player works well when it is not inserted in the website. What I am missing in terms of coding? Thank you for helping

I guess I don't know much about your paticular media player but most Web site media players rerly on the viewers browser having the required browser plug-in in order to play the audio. No plugin, no play. That is true whether it's a Flash media player, Windows media player, or whatever.
So however you code the player on the Web page, it'll probably still need a browser plugin to work. If that plugin is proprietary and not readily available, it may discourage potential listeners.
That plugin is basically a small program that serves to interact with a calling application, like a Web browser. Google "browser plugins" for more detailed information.

Did you create a stand-alone application (i.e. an .exe file)? If so, you won't be able to embed that reliably into a webpage. Most people these days are using flash media players since they work across most situations and the Flash plugin is installed already on most computers.

The OP was asking how to embed a custom media player into a browser. VLC is not an embeddable media player so it will not be a possible solution to the posed question.
