Hello!

I've been given the task by my employer to take a HTML page and add it to our DNN powered site. This page consists of short speeches (saved in WMV format) that Doctor's gave at our annual meeting. Each speech is accompanied by a title as seen here;
http://www.saem.org/saemdnn/MedicalStudentAudio/tabid/671/Default.aspx

My problem is if I use HTML to embed the player it slows my page down and I've run into the problem of having the Text/HTML module lose the code for the location of the WMV file. Also if I want to listen to a WMV file I have to click the player twice, once to activate the player and the next to play, and then wait for the file to load. This could be extremely frustrating to a user because they are prone to click it more than once because it is not playing ASAP.

My question:

Is there anyway that I can install a module inside a module? I have an audio player module that I'd like to stick inside my Text/HTML module...but I don't see a way to do it.
Is there a module that would allow me to have both of the functionalities I am looking for? (Text wrapped around an audio player)

If there are any questions I'm more than happy to answer them.
Any help for this matter would be greatly appreciated!

There's the Flexible Module Wrapper that zhenl posted about on 8/7.  I've never used it, but it might do what you want.  You could also alternate between Text/HTML and Media modules (for the WMVs); with the containers turned off, you'd never know that you were using lots of modules.  You also might be able to get the Gallery to do what you want, since it displays a description along with each item... but the current version doesn't let you turn off the parts you don't need (user ratings, file name and size, etc.).  The next version is supposed to, but it's not out yet.

Are you dead-set on inlining the media player into the page?  You could just make your clip titles (like "Who are you going to call (00:49)", and "Safety Net (00:37)") into links directly to the WMVs.  The user experience is a bit different, since clicking on one will launch the media player externally... but this should also drastically reduce your page-load time, since you won't be instantiating 38 copies of the media player.
