Help with Music files playing on web site

M

mkr

1. I am using Windows 7 and FrontPage 2003.

2. I ripped a music CD using Windows Media Player to mysite in FP. Ripping
was successful and all file showed up in separate folder within mysite in FP.
I opened DWT Template, placed cursor within an editable region, opened Page
Properties, went to General Tab > Background Sound > Location > Browse >
folder. It showed "This folder is empty" with All audio files selected in the
dropdown box. I came out of that window dialogue box, went to the folder and
found all "wma" files were there. Thus, ripped files were very much there but
could NOT be selected.

3. I took a different approach. Within mysite I created a separate folder
and copied all files from CD into it and checked that all files were shown up
inside the folder. Then I once again repeated the steps in (2) above, this
time with this separate folder but again found the same result. Thus, copied
files were very much there but could NOT be selected.

4. A few years ago I had attempted at this with Windows XP and same FP
software and found it a very simple process and it worked well. I don't know
what's happening now that prevents me this time.

I shall be thankful if someone could help.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

I wasn't sure how to embed module. Hence, I searched Help in FP. All I could
get was video embedding.

I shall be thankful if you could also tell me how to embed - steps please.
And in the code "Your.wma" should I replace "Your" by something else?

It beats me how the very same CD threw up no problem with Windows XP Pro a
few years ago.

Yes it a video embedding.
But we are Hide Control Panel and Automatic Start
For loop="true" is play over and over,,, if put loop="1" it will play one
time and stop

Now a *.wma will not play in all Player .... But mp3 will

now do you have Edit on your Internet Explorer
If not you need it here hoe to get
Open Internet Explorer
Click on View
Toolbars
Click on Customize
you see Available toolbar buttons
Add Edit
To Current toolbar buttons
Close

now open this link in Internet Explorer
http://hot-text.ath.cx/my_documents/embed/
you see
hide-enbed.html 267 Bytes
embed-control.html 405 Bytes
BGSOUND.html 362 Bytes
Clink on them in Internet Explorer
when View in Internet Explorer and toolbar Click Edit
Pick Edit with FrontPage!

you see how it works and how to make it work for you

Thanks, again.

I have IE8. In View > Toolbar there is no Customize. I checked IE Help and
searched for "how to customize toolbar". There were answers but none related
to Edit. Again I searched IE Help for "how to add edit on toolbar" but this
time no answers.

Next I opened http://hot-text.ath.cx/my_documents/embed/ in IE and saw those
three files you mentioned. I right-clicked on each file one by one and
selected "Save Target As" and then saved those HTML files in FrontPage My Web
Sites > mysite folder.

Next I opened those three files one by one and as nothing happened I went
back to http://hot-text.ath.cx/my_documents/embed/ and selectedwish.mid and
did "Save Target As" in the same directory mysite. Then I tried to understand
what you are saying.

Now, I need to confirm that I have understood you properly -

<embed src="mymusic.wma" volume="50" hidden="true" loop="true"
autostart="true" width="0" height="0" border="0"></embed>

Is this code correct and completet?
Should I put this code in dwt file (dynamic web template file) which I have
applied to index file?
Or, should I put this code directly in index file?

I have five different small music files. If I want that all of them play one
by one as long as the visitor is surfing through my site moving from one page
to other then what should I do?

All pages of my site use the same dynamic template.

Thanks again, my friend.

P.S.:
IE8 has probably renamed Edit as Source

Ok
just Right Hand Click on IE Tool open Customize!

the code correct and completed

Can put the code in dwt file (dynamic web template file) and applied to
index file
Or directly in index file But is the Body
For the code is width=0 height=0 border=0 have to keep at 0 or it we error
your dwt
you see it in your FrontPage editor it there to be edit .
... But will not Show in a Web Brower hidden=true

For
<DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
In the Body
<embed src="mymusic.wma" volume="50" hidden="true" loop="true"
autostart="true" width="0" height="0" border="0" />

For
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
In the Body
<embed src="mymusic.wma" volume="50" hidden="true" loop="true"
autostart="true" width="0" height="0" border="0"></embed>

The src="mymusic.wma" have to be your link
src="http://minpin.ath.cx/mid.asx"
if it not the same Folder you have to make it link to that Folder
src="http://minpin.ath.cx/music/comingtoamenca.mid"

loop="true" loop="-1" will all ways play,,, but loop="1" will play one
time ..... loop="2" will play two time,, so on and so on





Now a Play List File look like This
