new version with inline player
There appears to be quite some interest in integrating an inline audio player in this template (or actually copying the current implementation from Wikipedia). However, a lot of the pages currently using this template make specific references to the old implementation. Therefore, I suggest that --Martin Kraus (talk) 14:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) we discuss here whether we should just integrated an inline player or whether we should copy the implementation from Wikipedia (I'm in favor of the latter)
 * 2) we make sure that all Wikibooks pages referencing Listen are either updated to the new design or the template Listen is replaced by the template Listen old version

I think the best approach might be to optionally allow the integration of an inline audio player, while using the current default of not doing so. So pages that use the listen template continue to work as expected, and people who want an integrated audio player can have one. --dark lama  19:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That's what I suggested when derbeth changed the definition some weeks ago. But copying the definition from Wikipedia has the advantage that the new template is very flexible (supporting multiple files etc.) and we could also use the documentation and we would be consistent with Wikipedia (which is a good idea for the more complex templates). There are actually not a lot of pages at Wikibooks using Listen, thus, it wouldn't be a big problem to replace all occurences of Listen by Listen old version. That would also give a hint to the authors of those pages that a new version is available. --Martin Kraus (talk) 19:53, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I reverted to the Wikipedia implementation and adapted the wikibooks pages that use Listen. --Martin Kraus (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
