Converting a Song into A HTML code??

i'm not sure if i am in the right section. but i would like to make a song that i have on my computer a HTML code. but i dont know how to find or create the code for the song to put on my website. i'm good with computers but completely dumb-founded when it comes to HTML/codes .can anyone help me with this.

if it helps....the song is Fabolous - Breathe (intrumental) mp3.


thanks.

 

i think you are a bit mistaken as to how html works. if i understand correctly, you are asking how to convert a song in to html, meaning, the song represented in html. i think youre trying to get a song to play on a web page, in which case, a song acts as a link. you simply put the song on a server, and call it with a specified tag(that im not aware of). im sure someone here will be able to help you more.

 

man....like i said im pretty in the dark about the whole HTML codes work. but thanks for the info. if anyone knows of a server that i can use to find out the code for songs please let me know.


thanks.

 

Code:

<EMBED src="file.wav" autostart=true loop=false volume=100 hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="file.wav"></NOEMBED> <EMBED src="file.mid" autostart=true loop=false volume=30 hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="file.mid"></NOEMBED>

where "file" is the name of your file, and .wav is the extension (so .mp3) and .mid is the more compatible older version of the file

 

thanks alot...i just have a couple of questions...

what exactly am i going to type/paste into the "file.wav" quotation marks?
so basically i copy and paste the songs file name into the quotation marks?
after that do i delete the quotation marks?
do i leave the .wav and .mid in there? the file name of the song is...
02-fabolous-breathe_(instrumental)-mad
it wont let me copy and paste ur code from this website...so should i just re-type the code you posted?


thanks for your help
and sorry for my HTML ignorance...lol

 

in the quotation marks you would put the exact name of the song which would be 02-fabolous-breathe_(instrumental)-mad.

No, you leave the quotation marks

It depends on what type of sound file it is. Most song files are .mp3 but some are .wav.

You should be able to copy and paste it. Try highlighting it and then right clicking it and click copy. that should do it.

 

no i cant copy the code it wont let me highlight the whole thing...

view your post and try to highlight the whole code...and you will see what i mean but thanks

so basically i should find out if my file is a mp3 or wav file and then type that at the end of the file name in each quotation mark? am i gonna do that for the one that says file.mid also??

 

EDIT:

i just re-read goldfish's reply....and im puzzled about something...

i am suppose to use the WHOLE code that he posted right? or am i just suppose to use the first half of it the one that only had "file.wav" ...?

 

actually now that i think of it, im not sure you will be able to play .mp3 on's your site. im not quite sure if you can play mp3's as background music.

 

well like...i know of people on websites like myspace that are able to put music onto their pages and stuff. and i know they use a HTML code to be able to play the song on the page.....i know of website that have HTML codes already made that u can put on a page....but i dont know how to make them yourself...

 

A simple code...

Code:

<embed src="02-fabolous-breathe_(instrumental)-mad.mp3" autoplay=true loop=true hidden=true></embed>

Just have the song in the same directory as the page.

 

well im trying to help my friend put that song on here page (my space), it says once u get an HTML code for your song/video/pic all you have to do is put it in anywhere on ur "Edit My Profile" page. but when i cope and paste that code into the page it still doesnt play. can anyone give me insight or help??? or did i completely loose you guys.

 

Are you directly editing the page or are you using a site builing tool?

 

directly editing.....she wants the song to play whenever someone looks at her page. she is on myspace.com so when u want to add an HTML code you just place it in anywhere in the "Edit My Profile Section".

 

Can you convert the song to a .wav file? I'm starting to think you can't embed mp3's without certain plugins and WAV's aren't as complex. That code should work for 'em.

 

I don't think they'll let you do that. I know if I were running it i would only allow a few selected HTML tags on member pages... certainly not EMBED.

Appart from anything, can you even upload the file to the webspace??

 

Not sure if you managed to embed the song into myspace that you wanted to. Incase you have not;

1. Depends on what kind of browser you are using. Microsoft Explorer supports the embed tag. Certain versions of other browsers (i.e. Mozilla/Firefox) do not support embed tags.

2. In order to embed songs into myspace profiles to be compatible with most browsers, you need to include a plugin within the url tag.

3. When you edit profiles in myspace, you are not directly editting, you are using the site tools to do so.

So, say you want to embed the file: Fabolous - Breathe (intrumental) mp3. The first thing you would do is find space on a server to upload that song. There are many sites online that will host files for you for free. You just have to make sure that

a) they allow mp3 files
b) they allow outside linking of files from their server

Some places won't host copyrighted music and some won't allow you to link to files on their server from an outside page. Another way around that is to find a friend who has extra space to host a couple of music files for you.

Now first, rename the file you have from "Fabolous - Breathe (intrumental) mp3" to "fabolous_-_breathe_intrumental.mp3" Url's don't recognize spaces or paranthesis. After you upload the renamed song file to the space using an ftp program, you should also make a streaming mp3 file so that when someone accesses the myspace page, they will hear the music automatically without the song having to download fully. It's simple to do this. Let's say that your file is hosted at www.musichosting.com (example) and your user account there is "bigtymer08" Your url would then be something like:
http://www.musichosting.com/bigtymer08/

To make a streaming file, just open up a blank file in notepad,
and type in the url of your file: http://www.musichosting.com/bigtymer08/fabolous_-_breathe_intrumental.mp3

now, save that notepad file on your desktop as:
fabolous_-_breathe_intrumental.m3u

Next, upload that notepad file that you saved as .m3u into the same space you uploaded your mp3 file into.

Now, go to myspace and edit the music section of the profile. At the top of that section, type in this embed command:

Code:

<embed src="http://www.musichosting.com/bigtymer08/fabolous_-_breathe_intrumental.m3u" width="300" height="50" loop="false" type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin' autostart="true"> </embed>

You would change what comes after <embed src="http:// depending on where you end up hosting your song. Now, editting myspace lets you preview the change, but the song still won't play until you "save" those changes and go look at your profile through the regular link. You should now see a music player bar under your music section that will automatically play the song, unless you are using a browser that doesn't support embed tags even with the plugin.

Hope that helps if you are still looking for a solution.
