Adding Music or Sound to Your WebsitE

freeonline

There are two options to letting your visitors listen to sound from your site.

1] You can simply link to the file, and when the visitor clicks, the sound will download and play.
like easy code that anyone can do
<a href="the location of the audio file">Listen to My Song</a>

2] You can embed the sound on your site to auto play when the page loads.

The HTML tag that plays music from a website is the >EMBED< tag. Inside the embed tag, you need to define several things (attributes).

=)the source or location of the file

SRC="the location of the audio file"

=)whether you want the sound to start automatically when the page loads
AUTOSTART="true or false"

3)whether you want the sound to play continuously (repeat or loop)
LOOP="true or false"

4)whether the panel is visible or not on your site (this is where I recommended to leave it visible so people can turn it off)
HIDDEN="true or false"

5)if the panel is visible (not hidden), the size of it.
WIDTH="145" HEIGHT="30"

Here is a sample bit of code that has all of the attributes included:

<EMBED SRC="mysong.mid" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true" HIDDEN="false" WIDTH="145" HEIGHT="30"></embed>

So now you can edit any music on site or even on FORUM ....Just be aware of copyright problem for sure.
Hope might help

ugh, I hate background music. It's only good on band sites where they have their songs playing but you can stop it.

Putting music on your website is only good using Flash... I don't think the embed tag validates anyways... and the song would take forever to load, unless it's crappy quality...
