Music and MP3′s – How to add it to my page(s)
Question:
I would like to have a song play on my website.
Answer:
Step 1) Getting your song onto the web:
1) You need your song as ‘MP3′ file.
2) Log into WordPress
3) Go to “Media” -> “Add Media” and upload your song.
4) Copy the song URL generated by WordPress
5) Type the URL into a webbrowser – you should get a “player” and the song should play after clicking the play button.
Step 2) Presentation and Presets:
1) Decide if you want the song to play on all your pages or only a certain page.
2) Do you want the Song to “Autoplay” or not
3) How many controls (aka console) do you want to display (Play-Pause-Volume-Skip etc)
4) Should your song repeat or not
Step 3) Adding the Player code to your page(s):
Here is the actual embed code that goes into your page – make sure you toggle the editor into HTML mode first.
The example below will autoplay, repeat and will display a small play/pause icon:
<embed src=”http://www.yourdomain.com/song1.mp3” width=18 height=18 autostart=true repeat=true loop=true> </embed>
This example will not autoplay, or repeat and will display volume controls in addidtion to pause/play:
<embed src=”http://www.yourdomain.com/song1.mp3” width=”140″ height=”40″ autostart=”false” loop=”FALSE”> </embed>
