Yes, exactly because google shut down Reader a few days ago. This option should be removed from the module.

doesnt have to be removed, the flash file can be included.
download it from here http://kiwi6.com/file/dv16h2i2k3 and place the file in the root of your site
and update the bottom of file audiofield.players.inc

function theme_audiofield_googlereader($player_path, $audio_file) {
  return '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl='.$audio_file.'" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" width="400" height="27" quality="best"></embed>';
}

With:

function theme_audiofield_googlereader($player_path, $audio_file) {
  return '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl='.$audio_file.'" src="/3523697345-audio-player.swf" width="400" height="27" quality="best"></embed>';
}

That download from kiwi6.com is wrapped in a bunch of garbage software. It may be benign, but when it asked for an Admin password to install software on my system, I aborted the process. Even if I were to go through with extracting the Google Reader audio player, how can I trust it?

For now, I think I'll keep looking at alternate players from trusted sources. Thanks anyway.

Status: Active » Fixed

We removed Google Player from Audiofield. Its been more than 2 years since google shut it down, and downloading swf from other sources is not recommended. There are other better players that will do the job.
