You shouldn't add it here, this is not the forum category to place your support request at

Yes, but you posted in the wrong category. Anyways, this is the code:

 

<BGSOUND SRC="YOUR MUSIC LOCATION HERE" LOOP="infinite">

 

That is of course, in HTML. Enjoy. BTW, you could ommit the LOOP line if you want to play the music just once, otherwise, you can set the number of times you want it to be looped, just replace the value of infinite.

there is an another way how u can input background sounds:<embed src="your url" height=40 width=120>this is just an example... ;-)

[melanie 0]

I use this...

<embed src="PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true"><noembed><bgsound src="PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE AGAIN"></noembed>

But it seems like im taking the long way around, lol.

there are codes you need, but the trouble with adding music to a site is finding your song on the internet. I think it needs to be a .mp3 file/stream too.

Since I see you've already got the html code for adding bg music, here are some sites for the actual url's for your music. Lycos has a music area and Espew also has a nice collection. Good luck.

Or he can just burn music from a CD on to his computer and then upload it to Xisto....

Well.... A lot of people find music in the background on sites extremely annoying, I am one of them LOL. The best advice is.. to not use it. But if you feel compelled, then include a button to stop the music, otherwise people x out to not listen to the music.

 

Uploading it to Xisto, will cost you greatly in bandwidth, since an mp3 is average about 3 to 4MB. .wav is even bigger (let's say HUGE).

There ARE smaller bandwidth-friendly formats like MIDI, MOD and for those with a real retro love, SID. Even the best SIDTUNES are under 60KB, after all they had to fit into a computer with only 64KB of RAM while leaving room room for code and graphics...

 

To include SID tunes you need to use something called SIDPLUG tho.

i agree with moon because if you can't stop it it might slow down some computers and if you have your own music on, you get a horrible mix... the slowlion way is better i think (

<embed src="your url" height=40 width=120>

because that gives you a little player and you can stop it that way, right? on the other hand, a small flashplayer would be better, just because cutting of the edges of the player will probably look crappy, but not everyone knows (someone who knows) flash code

[iGuest 3]

There are other more ear-friendly formats, like .mp3 or .wma. MIDI tunes are so annoying. They always sound like an out of tune organ, or maybe a buzzing bee.

[madcrow 0]

A GOOD midi tune can sound wonderful. It's just that most MIDI tunes suck... And SID rocks. Go old-school 8-bit music.

if you wanted the player interface to disappear, and not be all ugly and up in the viewer's grill, you just need to set height and width to 0. the downside is that they can't stop it...
