Enable Downloads

enableDownloads -- Displays the "download" icon when rolling over a track in the playlist.

Description

Enabling downloads will cause the player to display the "download" icon when the user rolls the mouse over an item in the playlist. The download icon being visible is dependant on the actual icon being available in your particular skin. If after setting this option, you do not see the download icon, double check to ensure that the skin you are using is displaying the download icon properly. (e.g. That it is not invisible, transparent or too small.)

When a user rolls over an item in the playlist, the download icon should appear, traditionally to the right of the playlist item, however, some skins are set up so that the download button is in a different location.

XML playlist and sub-folders can not be downloaded, only media tracks (FLV, SWF and MP3).

You can specify which tracks can and can not be downloaded. However, this feature is only available if you are using a separate "info" data file, or running Wimpy off of an external XML playlist. To enable or disable download on a per-item basis, add the following tag to an <item>:

<downloadable>yes</downloadable>
or
<downloadable>no</downloadable>

Example:

<playlist>
<item>
    <title>       My Title </title>
    <artist>      My Artist </artist>
    <album>       My Album </album>
    <description> My Description </description>
    <link>        http://www/path/to/page.html </link>
    <image>       http://www/path/to/image.jpg </image>
    <id>          12345 </id>
    <whatever>    abcdefg </whatever>
    <downloadable> yes </downloadable>
  </item>
</playlist>

Alternatively, if you are using "file.info" files in your folders and sub-folders, you can add the <downloadable> tag to the info file as:

<title>       My Title </title>
<artist>      My Artist </artist>
<album>       My Album </album>
<description> My Description </description>
<link>        http://www/path/to/page.html </link>
<image>       http://www/path/to/image.jpg </image>
<id>          12345 </id>
<whatever>    abcdefg </whatever>
<downloadable> yes </downloadable>
