How Do i put music on the background or how do i put music on the site?

In html,don't know what the CSS code would be.Put it in headers or the boards.

<bgsound src="url of music" loop=infinite>

a better one would be

Code:

<embed src="filename.mid" width=145 height=55 autostart=true loop=true>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=infinite>
</noembed>

because u get a media player, where u can control the size of it, play and paus, and fast forward. also if u dont want the song to start automatically u change

Code:

autostart=true

to

Code:

autostart=false

and if u dont want the song to constantl play and actually stop once in a while then change

Code:

loop=true>

to

Code:

loop=false>

and

Code:

loop=infinite>

to

Code:

loop=0>

and thats it.

[Scatman]

[Scatman]

ok i wanna know if you can add more then just 1 for like a playlist ? 

[Steven]

u replace both of the

Code:

src="filename.mid"

with

Code:

src="your url here"

where your url here is the url of your music.

and no you cant have a play list, or atleast not that i'm aware of. but what u can do is post multiple players, and disable the auto start. correct me if i'm wrong 

Note: if you don't disable the Autostart then they will all automatically play at the same time. Although u might think its cool, in that case by all means leave it on  lol

btw that url doesnt work. so i would recommend uploading ur music here
http://filexoom.com/
you will have to register to upload music and other files that are not pics, but they have really huge bandwidth and storage space. the good thing about having big bandwidth is u can play the songs over more times, untill u get your new bandwidth next month.

I just tried this one in my header and it works great!  I changed the ( loop=infinite> ) to ( loop=0> ) and it stops until you click on a new board and starts up again.  I love it!

Too bad it doesn't seem to work if you are viewing the forum from Firefox.  I have to use the embedded code to get it to work and then I am stuck with the control box.

[Mavrien]

how do you get a url for a song?

the song i am wanting is Bodies by Drowning Pool

[LaundryLady]

I search google for the titles and see if I can find a free download. I then host it on ripway

[Mavrien]

ty...got it to work, sortive...i didnt the the last ">" and now when i go in to fix it all i get is a black screen with the player...any way i can fix this?

btw..here is my site... http://vvv.smfforfree4.com

I use "ripway' when I want music on the boards.  Never had any trouble with them but you only get 30mbs free space with them. Worked in FireFox and Opera too. As long as you don't have a ton of songs, it would be a decent place to use.

I know this post is way old but, do you happen to know which plugin you had to use for the embed to work in firefox? It says I am missing a plugin and it doesn't have any recommendation for which one I need.

Use the following code to put the music on your site.  It should work in FF and IE.  It's the one I use.

a better one would be

Code:

<embed src="filename.mid" width=145 height=55 autostart=true loop=true>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=infinite>
</noembed>

because u get a media player, where u can control the size of it, play and paus, and fast forward. also if u dont want the song to start automatically u change

Code:

autostart=true

to

Code:

autostart=false

and if u dont want the song to constantl play and actually stop once in a while then change

Code:

loop=true>

to

Code:

loop=false>

and

Code:

loop=infinite>

to

Code:

loop=0>

and thats it.

That should stop that error from happening.
