Say I found a song that I want to play on a homepage. How do I get the HTML for the song and how do I get it to play.

pmech · 09-10-2004, 11:53 AM

what file format?

**Dale Mabry** · 09-10-2004, 11:58 AM

I don't think it matters, I am trying to get my myspace webpage to play it.

pmech · 09-10-2004, 12:06 PM

ya but I dont think it will work if you are using the mp3, thats why I was asking. Its been a long time since I embedded sound in a webpage. I know it works for sure with wav and midi's

**Dale Mabry** · 09-10-2004, 12:08 PM

does it have to be a midi file?

**Prince** · 09-10-2004, 12:09 PM

personally, I cannot stand sites that embed sound.

you may be right, not sure, but he could convert the .mp3 file to .wav too.

pmech · 09-10-2004, 12:20 PM

it doesnt have to be midi or wav, its just that it doesnt require any type of plugin like mp3 use to. I dont know if it still does or not. create a blank html document and just put the embed command in there and test it with the mp3 if not then you need to either load a plugin or like Robert said convert it to wav, but if it is a whole song then it will be huge.

Also, I agree, embedding songs in websites is not the most ... tasteful of things, but lots of people do it, just wont catch me at it.

**Dale Mabry** · 09-10-2004, 12:21 PM

What if it were the Ducktales theme?

pmech · 09-10-2004, 12:23 PM

LMAO. Thats just funny
Try and find a midi out there for it already, save you time and effort

go here : http://www.tv-timewarp.co.uk/midi_files/ scroll down to duck tales, right click that link and save as

**Prince** · 09-10-2004, 12:25 PM

I think many years ago people thought it was neat to embed sound, anymore you only see it on very amatuer websites.

you could just link to it so IF someone wants to here they can click it.

**Dale Mabry** · 09-10-2004, 12:25 PM

I got the wav file, pretty sweet.

It's not a real site, it is on myspace.com

**Mudge** · 09-10-2004, 02:21 PM

Dale, convert that sucker to MP3, WAV sucks for load times and your bandwidth useage.

pmech · 09-10-2004, 02:39 PM

ah ok see I didnt know if mp3 was embeddable or if you needed to go with a plugin still, thanks mudge

**Mudge** · 09-10-2004, 04:09 PM

Browser will handle it

myCATpowerlifts · 09-10-2004, 08:05 PM

btw, you have to upload it first

**Mudge** · 09-10-2004, 08:13 PM

Yep, every once in awhile I see people pointing to their own local hard drives.

pmech · 09-10-2004, 09:33 PM

You arent suppose to tell them how to fix it. You are suppose to just point and laugh...
