Music on my website?

I would like a small section of my website to play MIDI files when you go to it. How would I go about doing this? I am not sure if I want the track to repeat or not yet, but is there a way to do it both ways (repeat and not)?

my site is www.virtualalex.com if it matters.

Hmmm this is like... streaming radio. I already have the tracks I want. I want to play specific MIDI tracks when you go to certain places. I don't want streaming radio. Unless I missed something.

Do you want to play them automatically, or when they click on links? If it's a link, just make the link point to the midi file. If you want it to play automatically, add this:

PHP:

<?php

<embed src="PATH TO FILE.mid" loop=X">

?>

Where X = -1 for infinite looping, 0 for playing once, or any other number to repeat that many times.

ok, can I make it so they have to click on something to make it play, but not open up a new window? because I tried something, and when you clicked it would take you to a window with a little play bar on it. I want it to be background music.

<embed> is deprecated. I think it's Netscape-only... or something like that...

Shouldn't this be in the Client Side forum? Or is it okay in here?

It's ok in here for now, but I'll move it to client-side. I'm interested in a non-deprecated solution for including sound in a page. I think you might need to use <object>. Embed works in IE, it's probably just been replaced with a better suited tag.

IMO the best way to include sound is with a flash file. Although if you don't have flash (includes me) <object> works too i guess

Oh, yes, this is going to be wild.

You can also use the embed and object tags together to cover any complications

So this an old post but im still replying cause I actually know this one.

this a decent no error producing solution

<embed src="sample.wav"
autostart="true"
hidden="false"
loop="false">
<noembed> <bgsound src="sample.wav" loop="1"> </noembed></embed>

just change the src="" on both object and embed
this will start it automatically, if you want them to click something to make it start just change autostart to false

either way it will display a small audio player wherever you have the code through the hidden="false" field and then obviously if you want to hide it just change it to true.

I have used this for mp3 wav works with middi though I dont liek them and I think I have even used it with m3u and swf audio files

Make sure you have play/pause buttons so your visitors can turn it on/off.
