I'm completely new at this and no nothing about how to add music to my website. I have the song in just a mp3 format from iTunes. How can I add it to my Geocities website? I did some searches in here but couldn't find anything on this matter.

Thanks

I've never actually done this myself, but I'm pretty sure this is how it's done:

Code:
<embed src="yourmusicfile.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false"></embed>

That's what i was thinking, but were do i actually stick the HTML code at?

Also, I was looking to add red aqua buttons... do you know where i could get those?

[Jaey]

When you use that code, you should get a little quicktime play-pause bar and everything. Place the code wherever you want the quicktime bar to appear.

As for the red aqua buttons, I suppose you could make them yourself. That, or you could take an existing aqua button and photoshop it so it's red.

I wasn't successful with the embed tag, instead I have used another solution. Check out the source code of www.max-goes-to-japan.net/team/tammy.shtml

Code:
<EMBED SRC="images/tammy_strikes_back.mov" HEIGHT="20px" AUTOPLAY="true">

Seems to be what they're using... Looks like an embed to me.

Ok, sorry.
I thought about an

Code:
<object src="..."></object>

tag, I think.

I'm new to all this embedding of music, but I noticed that that simple embed code at the above TAMMY site caused the QuickTime player to display, so I tried it in my site:

<p><embed SRC="perfection.mov" HEIGHT="20px" AUTOPLAY="true" LOOP="false"></p>

and then uploaded a 10-sec mp3 file (that plays fine in QT on local machine). I tried it first with its extension as mp3 (and changed code in the EMBED from .mov to .mps...
but no QT shows up. So I tried uploading it with .mp3 extension changed to .mov and using .mov in the code (as above). Still NOTHING show on my site. (I even tried setting autoplay to "false" to see it it would at least show me the 20px line for QT - but nothing).

Can anyone tell me if it's a code problem - or a problem with file type / extension? or if my HOST may have to turn on something to let audio happen?

Keep your file mp3 (changing it to .mov doesn't make it a QT movie.. you'd need to actually export it from QT Pro as a QT movie). Keep the extention mp3.

This is the official embed code, straight from the mothership :

----

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="160"HEIGHT="144"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="track1.mp3">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<EMBED SRC="track1.mp3" WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="144" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

----

Make sure to change the file name in both places. To make it look right on both platforms, sometimes you need to adjust the width of the controller, as it gets clipped a little.

Hope that helps!

Whew! I just *don't get* that value for CLASSID... !!!

But it works great - right out of the can. Mucho thanks!

For my edification: can you tell me (Readers Digest version) what that CLASSID IS all about?
