MP3 in my background

[Guest HeartOfSword]

Hi,

Um, I know I don't post around a lot on here, and I probably should, but I've got
a question that's nagging me away. I went to one of the sites on MyOtaku and
the person had this song playing on his/her site and it was an MP3 song, not like
the midis that we're only allowed to upload. How is it possible for me to get a song
(MP3, not midi) on my MyOtaku site without going through the midi upload thing?

If you're talking about having it play in their "Introduction" area, it's from HTML. I use MP3s in my myOtaku Introduction section too. What you do is go to your "Edit Profile" part, and in the Introduction text box, paste this HTML:

<EMBED src="MP3 URL HERE" autostart="false" hidden="false" width="150" height="30" loop="true">

The only thing you'll need to edit in that HTML is where I put "MP3 URL HERE," you put the URL to your mp3. The mp3 [i]has[/i] to be uploaded onto a site.

Hope that helps.

[color=#4B0082]I moved this to the tech support forum, since the thread is asking for help on myOtaku. And I also edited your post a bit, Dragon Warrior, so your HTML code would show up, since HTML is allowed in this forum.

A couple things, though, that I should point out about Dragon Warrior's HTML there. First off, [b]do not use the hidden="false" attribute.[/b] This can screw up the displaying of the little control bar. Instead, just leave the hidden attribute out altogether, and the control bar will still show up. Second, though not required, it's good to also use a closing </embed> tag.

This is the code I use for embedding midis and mp3s:

<embed src="URL HERE" width="175" height="16" autostart="false" loop="true" volume="50%"></embed>

The width and height of the control bar, as well as the default volume, you can set to whatever you want, as well as whether it will loop automatically. I just wouldn't recommend setting autostart to "true," as that can be very annoying.[/color]

[color=#707875]You can use the music option that we've provided by default; you simply have to include the URL of the MP3, rather than the midi.

But it really depends how much control you want to have over it, I suppose. In other words, our default option won't allow you to have a slider and things like that.[/color]
