Among the types of multi-media content that can be placed on websites, MP3 files are very common. The MP3 files that are placed on the pages are driven by embedded applications to show or play content. To embed the MP3 file on your page the format is fairly simple, but as with any other programming, the wrong syntax prevents it from playing.
Instructions
1. Select the MP3 file that you want to put on your site. Decide if you want it to play when a person visits your page or to be a link that they can download the file and play it in their own player. To play on your page when someone visits you need to include a stop button for those that don't want to hear it.
2. Choose the position on the page that you want to place the link to the MP3 or where you want to place the stop button for auto played songs. One of the best visual ways of letting the visitor know they can stop the audio playing is to place the standard windows play/pause time bar.
3. Place the following code in your HTML page to embed the MP3 file:< EMBED
SRC="MP3 file location" HEIGHT=60 WIDTH=144 > Make sure you replace the "MP3 file location" with the actual address of the MP3 file. This format will play the MP3 for anyone that visits the site but also places a play/stop button bar on the page so they can stop it if they prefer.
4. Place a normal link to your MP3 file location if you want to give your visitor the option to download the file and play it with their own player.
