How do I get music to automatically play on my site?

You can find music in our Music Library.
To have the music play automatically you can go to the Music Library and select the black text following the song title of your choice. For example, if you wanted Silent Night then you would select "/audio/music/silent.mid".
Next you paste that string into the place of song in the strings below. Note that the "embed" covers the Netscape compatible browsers and the "bgsound" covers Microsoft's Internet Explorer. By using both, you cover most browsers.

<embed src="song" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="3">
<bgsound src="song" loop="3">

In our example that would be:

<embed src="/audio/music/silent.mid" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="3">
<bgsound src="/audio/music/silent.mid" loop="3">

Now paste this new string into your page. We recommend that you place the string near the bottom of your page. As you can probably hear, this page is using our example!

How do I get music to on my site that can be started by a visitor?

You can find music in our Music Library.
To have the music selectable from your page you can go to the Music Library and select the black text following the song title of your choice. For example, if you wanted We Three Kings then you would select "/audio/music/we3king.mid".
Next you paste that string into the place of song in the string below, please note that you may want to experiment with the width and height depending on your purpose:

<embed src="song" height=30 width=98>

In our example that would be:

<embed src="/audio/music/we3king.mid" Autostart=FALSE Width=144 Height=56 >

Now paste this new string into your page where you would like it to appear.
Our example appears below:
