If you need a rough way to embed a music file into your web page, this will get you started.
Much sexier ways to do this exists. Sorry. However, this short code will play a music or video file using microsoft’s media player.
Of course, this will not work on non-Windows systems…
Change http://www.somesite.com/file.wma to the exact URL of the music file.
If you want to play video files, increase the height to 240.
CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..."
TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
SRC="http://www.somesite.com/file.wma"
NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH=320
HEIGHT=42>
This should get you started. Many javascript options exist out there which are more cross-platform friendly. I’ll try to write up that method soon. If you can improve on this method, please drop a note in the comments.
