How can I get my drupal site to play mp3 files at scheduled times. Something like a playlists scheduler. Also I will like users to be able to download mp3 files.

You can use the Station

You can use the Station module for audio upload/download. Unfortunately though, it does not offer playback  functionality only schedule which really does nothing .

The solution that comes to mind is to create several playlist files (.pl) of your upload   and embed them in nodes  .

Creating a playlist file is

Creating a playlist file is easy.

1. First make sure your audio files are available online

2. Open a new  text file and list the path to each of the audio in the order you want them to play

<code>

audio/abc.mp3

audio/cde.mp3

audio/efg.mp3

etc

</code>

3. Now save the text file as playlist1.pl   or playlist1.m3u

That is it , you are done. Find an embed code  prefereably that which will also incorporate/display  a player.

Have fun !
