Replying to Music On My Site?

<BGSOUND SRC="YOUR MUSIC LOCATION HERE" LOOP="infinite">

That is of course, in HTML. Enjoy. BTW, you could ommit the LOOP line if you want to play the music just once, otherwise, you can set the number of times you want it to be looped, just replace the value of infinite.

Are you sure this is HTML? Is this supposed to be a new tag because all I know is the <embed> tag. I've never heard of a BGsound tag.

Anyway, I think the best way is to use the <embed> tag. it goes like this:

<embed src="yoururlname" hidden=false loop=true autoplay=true></embed>

Don't forget to put in "hidden" attribute because the player won't show.

I use this...

<embed src="PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE" 
autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true"><noembed><bgsound src=
"PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE AGAIN"></noembed>

But it seems like im taking the long way around, lol.

Why bothet taking the long way?

I strongly suggest that you stear clear of putting background music on your site. Most people are put off by the sound in the background and when surfing he web, they might have a radio on, or live internet radio. Putting sound into your site will disrupt this and annoy the visitor, they will ultimately leave.

The only time that background music should be used is when it is for an introduction, which these days isn't the best of ideas to use anyway.

How the guys shown for you, it´s possible and easy. But a comment: I hate sites with sound if it dont have a play/stop and volume control. I just go away from this kind of site. If you want to use for experience or because your client wants, ok, go ahead. But it´s no professional way.

Acchile.

I would just prefer a liittle button that says "Music ON/Music OFF" it is so much simpler and for the love of god don't put midi in, its usually really annoying and a sign of a bad webpage. Anyways put in mp3s cause they have the best effect in my opinion.

For the button, i think you can make it as a flash object and put it in a page, but I'm coding stupid so i don't know what i'm talking about ;D

i agree with moon because if you can't stop it it might slow down some computers and if you have your own music on, you get a horrible mix... the slowlion way is better i think (

<embed src="your url" height=40 width=120>

because that gives you a little player and you can stop it that way, right? on the other hand, a small flashplayer would be better, just because cutting of the edges of the player will probably look crappy, but not everyone knows (someone who knows) flash code

if you wanted the player interface to disappear, and not be all ugly and up in the viewer's grill, you just need to set height and width to 0. the downside is that they can't stop it...

o thanx every 1 that posted in this topic.. u helped me put a song in my website lol....i kno its the wrong topic 2 b writing in but every 1 answered n e way so if n e 1 knows n e other good websites 2 get music (mp3's) from like espwe.com leme kno plz thanx

A GOOD midi tune can sound wonderful. It's just that most MIDI tunes suck... And SID rocks. Go old-school 8-bit music.

There are other more ear-friendly formats, like .mp3 or .wma. MIDI tunes are so annoying. They always sound like an out of tune organ, or maybe a buzzing bee.

Uploading it to Astahost, will cost you greatly in bandwidth, since an mp3 is average about 3 to 4MB. .wav is even bigger (let's say HUGE).

There ARE smaller bandwidth-friendly formats like MIDI, MOD and for those with a real retro love, SID. Even the best SIDTUNES are under 60KB, after all they had to fit into a computer with only 64KB of RAM while leaving room room for code and graphics...

To include SID tunes you need to use something called SIDPLUG tho.
