I can't seem to get any FB sharing links to kick. I only have one system to test on. Please someone verify for me please. Tried both Firefox and IE.

I have the same problem :(

Oh good thanks Jimmy! Perhaps a real bug then.

I believe that they (fb) changed their api to no longer allow the kompoz player to work as it did. I filed a bug on that awhile back. Subsequent to that I mailed sanger asking wtf? After that, the links went to javascript::noop() calls.

So I imagine the links have been made inactive until the issues have been sorted out.

Be nice to hear officially, of course...

Yep. IE, Firefox, Iron, Chrome, Opera... they no work!

Soundcloud it is.

Looking into it.  But until then, there is a workaround.  The FB button within the player works.  The FB outside the player does not.

My previous attempt at using that button failed. It ended up a direct download link.

Right - there's no way to get the player in facebook now - the best you can get is a link back to the project track. I mean, I can add a link - but it was a great advertisement for kompoz for people to be able to play the tunes right in fb.

On it.

I made a few changes to get facebook sharing working.  I actually made two short-term changes, and plan to make a long-term change shortly.  The two short-term changes are:

1- I added a Facebook "Like" button on the project overview page, and also on the track detail pages.

2- I added a "Share" link on the track detail pages.  When you click that link, the page will expand to show Facebook, Twitter, and other options.

If you use the "Like" button (#1 above), Facebook will simply post "So-and-so likes this song".  But it does not include the player.

If you use the Facebook button found under the "Share" link (#2 above), it will embed the player within Facebook. This works OK, but it is not ideal, in that it opens the player in a new window, rather than inline within your Facebook message.  It's much better than before, but still needs improvement -- which brings me to the long-term solution: I will be implementing Facebook's "Open Graph" API so that any link posted to a Kompoz track (whether through a button on Kompoz or a simple shared link from anywhere else), will include the player.  I will be working on this next week.

thanks, Raf. :)

OK, I think it's all working now.  The Kompoz player should play within Facebook!  Give it a try.  Blog posted here.
