IMEEM is an online community where artists, fans & friends can promote their content, share their tastes, and discover blogs, photos, music and video. You can find a lot of music and videos there. Many of my friends are using it to listen to their favorite songs. I have seen some website having embed iMeem on their site successfully. I sourced around in Google but couldn’t find any thing that was useful for me to embed it on Wordpress. If you didn’t know, Wordpress.com currently does not allow embedding of imeem’s flash content. So this is only applicable for those who are having their own Wordpress blog setup.
The way I’m using to embed iMeem on post and sideware is by using Anarchy Player and my own Customized Sidebar Widget. You can get the Anarchy Player from the author website. There is a full details on the installation, setup and also ways to use it. After you have set it up and activate the plugin in your Wordpress there will be two buttons available. The first button is for flash files and the second button is for youtube and the such. A list of you can use is shown on the popup.
How To:
Embed iMeem to Wordpress post (Using Anarchy Player)
Download - Get it here. There is version for normal wordpress and multi-user wordpress
Copy everything in “Embed in your blog…” out and paste to some editor or your wordpress. Then find the part where it says value=”http://media.imeem.com…”. Keep a mental note what is the width and height. You may change this to your liking. Next click on the first button of the Anarchy Player for inserting SWF files. Copy the value and paste it there. Enter the height and width and click OK. Thats it. Now you have iMeem playing music in your selected post. This will work for embeding the playlist as well.
Single Song
Playlist
Embed iMeem Wordpress Sidebar (Widget)
Download - iMeem Wordpress Widget v1.00
Extract the file inside to your widget directory. Go to your Sidebar Widget page under Presentation. Drag and drop the iMeem on to the sidebar. Click on the right side to configure it. You will need to enter the URL like above and also the height and width. Save and reload your website and you can see it on your sidebar. You can have up to 9 songs or playlist using this widget.
This is an example of what you should enter in the Anarchy Player or iMeem Widget
iMeem URL: http://media.imeem.com/pl/-IutYgTin6/aus=false/
iMeem Playlist Width=200 (Default 300)
iMeem Playlist Height=200 (Default 290)
As for individual songs, just copy this for the url
iMeem URL: http://media.imeem.com/m/O6JvBeTE53/aus=false/
iMeem Playlist Width=300 (Default 300)
iMeem Playlist Height=80 (Default 80)

I haven’t try with MySpace. Let me log on to MySpace profile and have a look. Check back another time ok.

I check out MySpace profile and there is no way you can embed iMeem songs on MySpace.
They have already filtered out iMeem IP. If you paste anything regarding iMeem even just iMeem.com on your profile, MySpace will change it to “..”
If anyone has found a way to workaround this, do let me know. I had tried short URL but it still doesn’t work.

I have also tried the URL like http://www.imeem.com/dialogs/standaloneplaylist/?p=gXabp5UD
but no luck

I guess it’s a format thing.
Your version http://media.imeem.com/pl/-IutYgTin6/aus=false/ works… I can’t find my playlist URL like that, all I can get are
http://www.imeem.com/dialogs/standaloneplaylist/?p=gXabp5UD
http://arleym.imeem.com/playlist/gXabp5UD/011_most_spinnable_tracks_of_2007_music_playlist/
Is Imeems UI different this year?

Hi Arley,
Of course my version works. I don’t know why you can’t find your playlist. I went to your playlist and I can find it there. You didn’t read my instruction properly, did you. Look at the image in the instruction to get your playlist URL. You need to find the URL that has the something like http://media.imeem.com/pl/xxxxxx
The Imeem UI is still the same as far as I know. Good luck.
