Concerning the Embedding of mp3s, etc.

[Drix D'Zanth]

Now, forgive me for not really trying the idea out.. I promise I will after posting this message. But concerning the embedding of sound files (mp3, .wav, etc) in posts; would it be possible for me to embed them directly from my own hard drive and upload them onto OB much like images? Or does it require an alternate URL?

I know with certain rpgs, like DW's new one, he's got a URL to reference his mp3's from. Am I going to have to upload my mp3's onto a website before I can use them?

Now, even if embedding is possible directly from my own hard drive, would everyone be able to hear the file, or just me?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

To get music onto your thread, you must upload them onto a site first. You're not capable of doing it on OB, sadly, but I'm sure you can find a host somewhere that'll store your music files (maybe a friend owns a site?). Doing it directly from your hard drive won't even work for you. So if you plan on having music, upload it to a site and copy and paste the URL into the HTML pattern.

Also, the music HTML only works in the Arena ;)

Thanks much Dragon Warrior.. I guess I'll have to get myself a site. I was planning on getting a domain name anyway. I checked out the coding you and James both used in your rpg's to somehow use in a future project of mine. Once again, thank you for your help.
