Put MP3 Player On Blog


Few days ago, when I browsing to the internet, I found very good song from last session of American Idol, American Idol 7, titled Shout to The Lord in Studio Version, actually I have the live version from Idol Gives Back. I really really love that song and put it on my other blog : My Silent Hour and after I know how to put the MP3 player I want to share with you, I already shared in Indonesian Language below, and now I want to write in English.
Some webs provided MP3 player to put it on blog, such as aimini, beemp3, airmp3, or the lyrics web, but if you want to put your own song maybe it would help.
  1. Google provided gadget facility which we could put on our blog, including MP3 player, just copy the code and paste to your blog, just click here to pick which gadget or MP3 you want.
  2. If you have your own song, you could upload it on MP3 host, like filefreak, mp3upload, etc and got the URL of your song.
  3. Insert song code on player and click Get the code
  4. Put on the place you want in your blog.
You could also try on SCM Music Player , you could put more than one song, and choose whether you want it autoplay or not. For my blog on My Silent Hours I'm using this code :
<TABLE BORDER="3" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" BORDERCOLOR="#99CCFF" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#DBEDFF" BORDERCOLORDARK="#5B7997"><tr><td>
<object id="MediaPlayer1" width="300" height="45" classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player..." type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="FileName" value="your-file.mid">
<param name="animationatStart" value="false">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-100">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer" src="your-file.mid" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="1" volume="-1" HEIGHT="50" WIDTH="300"></embed></object>
</td></tr></table>
If you want to make it autoplay, you could change the parameter from :
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
to :
<param name="autoStart" value="false">
change "yourfile.mid" with your MP3 URL, for example : "www.sitename.com/songtitle.mp3" Ok, try it, thank you very much.
