Playing music!

[Womble]

Hi, I have spent a good 3 hours and designed and published my first Website!

It is extremely rough and dirty, but it basically does what I set out for it to do.

Over the next couple of months, I shall be re-designing it with a bit more finesse and one of the things that I will want to improve upon is the way in which I have embedded links to some MP3 tracks!

I placed some icons on the index page and clicking the icon then moves in a very ugly manner to display a grey screen with the plugin indicator bar as it moves through the song!

Can anyone suggest a better way please?

Re: Playing music!

Yes I thought that the answer probably lay there ... when I manage to find some time, I will work out how to use that and give it a whirl ... many thanks for showing an interest!

can we download a player from the web somewhere and install it into our website, maybe some html language, or a link or something?
thank you

Re: Playing music!

Re: Playing music!

My page (such as it is!) has been published and can be selected from the drop-down list that appears by my details! I have just tried to add an experimental box with the media player icon, but it is now taking ages to publish again!!

Re: Playing music!

Well that was an absolute disaster! The page took 4 minutes to appear, so I am guessing that I didn't do it right or ... it's not the answer for me!

I don't want it to play automatically - only when selected i.e. by clicking on something

Re: Playing music!

create a subdomain in your cpanel,
upload to the subdomain folder by going to File Manager and to the folder of your subdomain, upload files

once files are uploaded create a link on your page like subdomian.mysite.com/music.mp3 or whatever the file's name is you uploaded

for instance
go to http://www.exstazjianjsadian.com/music.html they can listen to the music directly from the site or right click on the file and save target as to download

you'll notice when downlaoding it goes to http://sadianfileserver.exstazjianjsadian.com to get the file, its very easy to do in cpanel find subdomians click add subdomian once in there the subdomain's name you choose will be the folder in File Manager like public_html/subdomian click and open that folder once there there is a tab that says upload file you can upload any kind of file you want zip or otherwise

this is the easiest way to keep track of files you uploaded without them getting all mixed up in your main folder in File Manager
and when downloading it broadcasts from a different folder
