To do What?
To add music to your site?
To download it?
You need to give us more information if you want to get some clear answers. |

There should be a music script in the ExCo Hacks forum. |

Well I went there & tried it, nothing happened..? I tried using a midi hosted by Putfile, wonder what I'm doing wrong? |

I always try to discourage people from adding music (midi or otherwise) to their websites, as it's a novelty at first, which fast becomes irritating, especially if it's a welcome jingle as the page opens. |

Please post the code that you tried and we can look at it to see how we can help.
Sivox it is sometimes nice to have the choice and it can be coded so that a person can choose to turn it on or off without having to wait for it to load. |

i want to add like an Mp3..like they kinda use on myspace...something similar to that...that would be nice...some of the members had asked me bout that |
|
|
| Catchow |
Where is the code that you tried to use? |
|
|
| MarinesMami |
codes...no i duno bout any of that stuff...i would have no idea how to even go about that... |
|
|
| Catchow |
Ahhh well there is the rub! You must have some music uploaded somewhere. mp3's take forever to load for those on dial up. They would not be happy with you at all. You are much better off with a midi. Google for linkable midis. You may find something that you like where someone has already uploaded it and is willing for you to hotlink from. If you upload something yourself, be sure that you aren't violating artist copyright. When you have something located or uploaded, we can help you to code it in a way that people can turn it off or on. Seb used to know a site with linkable midis. |

| Catchow |
KS I need the complete and total code that you tried including the music url if I am going to be able to help you. I need to see what you tried to be able to see your error. |
|
|
| MarinesMami |

If your code looked like this....
<embed src="http://wtv-zone.com/emma/midis/anamainiacs.mid" width=25 height=25 autostart=true repeat=true loop=true>
1- make sure syntax is correct, missing one little thing will throw it off
2- Your browser needs a plugin to play the music.
You might try posting the code you used and stating where you put the code and noting what browser you are using
:D
Catchow edit because she told me to!
If you want to be able to turn it on and off
<embed src="http://wtv-zone.com/emma/midis/anamainiacs.mid" width=25 height=25 autostart=false repeat=false loop=false>

... Yes! ... i know Beth, i still find it irritating on any sites people have asked me to build for them, with any kind of midi opening sequence, even if I did create a switchable option.
Just the pure sound of midi makes me cringe these days!! |

I completely concur with you, and it can also freeze up while people visit such a website when using less sophisticated browsers. |
|
|
| Catchow |
It can freeze a modern browser too and much of what is being played at many sites is illegal as well. |

| seb_thib_55 |
Yes most of the time I hate embed codes. It annoys me when you try and load a page but you have to wait for it to unfreeze/load. :( |
|
|
| KsTornado11 |
Well, would a wave such as this one slow it up too much? I'm on dial up, so i know how it is.....

Ks when I clicked on your link I got popups. I am not sure how to do wave files but I do know that you must have quicktime installed in order to play them. I would also be leery of using putfile as a host since they use the popups.
The real fact is that it is just really not worth the trouble to put something like this on a messageboard. It will need to reload every single time that you click on a link to post or read a new thread. If I recall correctly, you have a supernatural board.
Get sebs floating butterfly script instead and substitute ghost and owl transparent gifs instead. |

wee bit of a contradiction in your comments Beth?
"Sivox it is sometimes nice to have the choice and it can be coded so that a person can choose to turn it on or off without having to wait for it to load. "
"The real fact is that it is just really not worth the trouble to put something like this on a messageboard. It will need to reload every single time that you click on a link to post or read a new thread"
Hmm? ... just givin' ya a bad time! :) |

| Catchow |
Not really Sivox, I put one on a board that I can't seem to find right this second but it was basically a link to music that opened in a new window. I really enjoyed it a lot but to do that is pretty complicated for many.
I tried to answer the question that I was asked without voicing my opinion at first. MarinesMami sort of got what she wanted by adding a website which thankfully I didn't have to code. Ks and I have a history to draw upon so I answered that concern in a different way. Many of the sites that I once used for hosting different file types are no longer alive and/or safe to use. It is a choice that people need to make for themselves. |
