A music player console with controls of the volume, on and off buttons, would give your visitors a choice on how he wants the music played. With the code stated below, the music will not play unless the visitor clicks the play button.
You can either insert the music console into your Blog post or your sidebar.
The code to insert is this:-
For instance, using the following code:-
This is what you see:-
It will look different in IE and Firefox, depending on the installed plugins.
Note the following attributes and how they work on different browsers:-
1. Insert your URL of music file into the code.
2. The Width of the example you see above is "300". If you want it to be embedded neatly into your sidebar, the width should not be greater than the sidebar width. For example, if your sidebar width is 150px, the width of your console should be about 140px.
3. The height would depend on your preference and space constraints.
4. Theautostart attribute has two options. If you choose "true", the music will automatically play when your page is loaded. As I have mentioned earlier, this is not a good option unless you are absolutely sure all your visitors would not mind the music. The better option is to state it as "false". If the visitor wishes to hear the music, he can click the play button to start the music.
Note, however, that while it works fine in Internet Explorer, it may not be so in Mozilla Firefox. The default setting for IE is "false" which means the music will not play automatically. The default setting for Firefox is "true", and when we experimented with .wma and .wav files, they automatically played even when we set the autostart to "false". If you are working on the Mac, the default setting for both browsers is "false".
5. Theloop attribute indicates whether the music should stop once that particular tune ends. The common attributes are "false" or "true". If the attribute is "false", the music ends after it is played once. If it is "true", the music will automatically loop and continue playing until the visitor clicks the stop button or leaves your site. For short music pieces, you may want it to repeat and choose "true".
For certain versions of Netscape browsers, another attribute that might work is loop="n" where n is a number. If n is 2 for example, the music will play twice and stop. The similar attribute in Internet Explorer is playcount.
6. You can specify the number of times the music is to be played. In the above example, whereplaycount="2", the same piece of music is played twice before it stops. If you want the music to be played once, you can delete playcount altogether. Note that this only works in Internet Explorer.
You can either insert the music console into your Blog post or your sidebar.
The code to insert is this:-
| <embed autostart="false" height="40" loop="true"playcount="2" src="URL of music file" width="300"/></embed> |
|---|
For instance, using the following code:-
| <embed autostart="false" height="40" loop="true" src="http://ownlblog.googlepages.com/BalladePourAdeline.mid" width="300"/></embed> |
|---|
