play audio in webpageNeed Help adding music to a webpage

Thanks to HTML 5.0 we need not have to worry about plugins available in the clients side...

just use the <audio> and <video>  tags...

http://www.W3schools.Com/tags/html5_video.Asp

works well in firefox and other browsers which support open standards laid by w3c

if U want a flexible code then use java scripts like this

<!-- START SOUND CODE, DELETE TO REMOVE --><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">If (navigator.AppName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {Document.Write('<bgsound src="dawn.Mp3" LOOP="false">');}Else {Document.Write('<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.Microsoft...s/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer" src="dawn.Mp3" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowControls="0" ShowDisplay="0" volume="1" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" loop="false"><br>');}// End --></script><!-- END SOUND CODE -->

Go to my http://ojproductions.net site and listen... you'll hear owls and nighttime sound. Is that what you want, but music? Just copy the HTML if that is what you want. Change it to your song though haha.


And i know Trap17.com hosts .mp3s, but i dont know about astahost. I am sure they do though. If you want a download link just put:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/you_music_file_folder/music_file.mp3">Click Here for music_file.mp3!</a>

Make sure to RIGHT CLICK AND GO TO SAVE TARGET. If you just click it will just start playing in quicktime or some other program. Make sure also that in your HTML and any links that the Caps match. So if you files name is MySong.mp3 make sure to make all link and HTML to match. You can not put a MySong.mp3 and have a link that is mysong.mp3 This is the same with and file. Caps always have to match the code.

Hmm, I ought to try that. I need to host my band's mp3s.

How can you put a link for download?
like the HTML code, please.

Upload your music and use this code :

<embed src="YOUR MUSIC URL" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

That's all you need to do. You can also get a music playlist like mine (www.candy-swirls.co.nr)

On my page it's called a music box. But it's still the same. If you need help you can go to www.dorkette.net

It has some tutorials and they're a GREAT help. I hope it works for you!!

Try using embed src ? i think it should work. I face the problem of having the browser to stream on the browser instead of making the user download it. Try using embed src , it should work. Also some webhost do not allow you to stream mp3 files but sometimes u can work around them by using wma files or rename wma files to .aspx. Does nto work all the time. but no harm trying

Do you mean some thing like this Maple Leaf Rag
or this The Entertainer (Scott Joplin)
Or you could use the embed object and that whould work in Firefox or Internet Explorer, just try to google it and it will explain sounds, that bgsound tag is deprecated and only works with Intenet Explorer.

You need something like a Windows Media Player plug-in. It is used on music.aol.com and many other web sites. It's like a small WMP that is in the layout of your page and you can play and stop music by using it. Quite simple.

FTP them usic up to your site and link to it. I'm not very familiar to the tags of playing music, but I assume your code is correct. I don't know the rules on astahost, but you're probably not allowed to host .mp3's even if it isn't available to the public. All they would have to do is look at your source and link to that for the download. Most sights don't allow mp3's unless you go through them and show them that it's a legal file. After saying that you downloaded it on limewire, I doubt getting approved. =/

Good luck with it all.

Here's what a 10 second google turned up: http://www.developin...et/html/mp3.php

Hope this helps.

When I read it over, it seemed to imply he wants his users to be able to click on a link and then the music will stream through their browser so they can listen to it. But so they cannot download the music files themselves, nor that it will play automatically in the background upon visiting his site.
