Adding Music

[OneEyedJap]

Alright guys, I am very new to all of this. I just need to know how to embed music into my site. I can get the music to play whenever I open my page but nobody else can hear the music. Only my computer plays it.

I really have no idea what's going on.

You might want to post the snippet of code from your page that is loading the music for you. That way people can see what is wrong.

The two most obvious things to check are probably:
1. Does the location of the file in your HTML refer to a place on your own hard drive?
2. Is the file uploaded to the webserver?

You may want to put the media piece in as an object:

It would look something like this...

<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715"
TYPE="application/x-oleobject" STYLE="visibility: hidden;" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="AnimationAtStart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="disappear.mp3">
<EMBED SRC="http://...yoursite.com/music/disappear.mp3" HIDDEN="true" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

This will cause the music to play when your page loads

This below will give the visitor the opportunity to control the music...

<OBJECT CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,5,715"
TYPE="application/x-oleobject" STYLE="visibility: hidden;" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="Loop" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="AnimationAtStart" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://.....yourwebsite.com/music/CelineDion-A_New_Day_Has_Come.mp3">
<EMBED SRC="http://.....yourwebsite.com/music/CelineDion-A_New_Day_Has_Come.mp3" HIDDEN="true" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Hope this helps
