CP Stream Plugin?

I am working on an app for my church and want to add a feature for our youth so they can listen to music. Would the CP stream plugin work if we created a page on the churches website with mp3 files and linked it to the plugin or what would be the best way to do this?

That should work fine. Give it a try and see. The thing to watch out for is copyright - CCLI has a special license for broadcasting music over the Internet, but I think it only applies to choral performances, not rebroadcasts of the original artist singing (e.g., streaming a mp3 from iTunes). http://www.churchphoneapps.com

Since it's built using flash, it's a bit tricky to get the mp3 links to these files. But, here's a trick you can use. Open the website on your phone and click on one of the songs. A dropdown will appear with a "play" button. If you long-press that button, it will show you the link to the mp3 file. You can then copy the link and paste it in an email to yourself.

but will it allow the user to change songs or play all of them or only the one?

I haven't used that plugin much, but I believe just the one. You could set up a menu screen for each song though so the user could select what they want
