    Hi, I want to create a digital signage system web based ! There should be something like a browser will download media files from the web server, save it onto client's machine and plays it in specific sequence. Can a browser/client have access to download media files and save it to specific location using javascirpt/vbscript or any other way (no manual process it should be done automatically) and after that play those media files ! Thanks & Best Regards, Divyesh Chapaneri

        No Browser doesnt have access to file system. What you can do is when you are making a playlist, store the ids in the browser cookie, and play them in browser based music player directly from the server based on the sequence made by the user. :) This is just what esnips does. :-D

            I think playing media files using flash players is the best way. You can also try out the recently introduced Silverlight players. At least there should be a browser plugin involved to play a sound in browser. :-D
