Add Hard Drive Song to Myspace

Excellent answer. Glad I came here. You're a tremendous resource.

Ok. I too am using m4a (itunes) files, which upload successfully to geocities (http://us.share.geocities.com/aegodfrey/02CottonCandy.m4a) When I try to put them on myspace, a player appears but won't do anything, even if I click play (let alone play automatically at page start). And guess what? I have IE, not firefox. What gives? :) Appreciate all your help and hard work.

EDITOR'S NOTE: You'll need to convert the file to MP3. The player doesn't support M4A.

my song is 46.4 MB.. it says its too big for myspace and it looks like GeoCities only adds files 15 MB and under.. how can i make it smaller or can you help me out?

EDITOR'S NOTE: That's HUGE. Edit it with Audacity, and try to get it down to about 1MB per minute of song. You may need a lower bit rate.

how do i make my bit rate lower? how do i make my 46 MB song a LOT smaller..? whats audacity?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You're not willing to do ANY research?

I have my songs on iTunes, so I burnt them and re-immported them as mp3 files. When I tried to upload it on geocities, I got that window with the quicktime question mark. I ensured my quicktime and flash player were current on updates and tried multiple times to re-upload the song, but no success. So, I tried the DivShare, but I got the white box. I tried to use the url they gave, but that didn't work either. I'm totally lost on what I can do to get this song on my myspace. Please help!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Find the MP3 file in your Windows Explorer, then click on it. Does it open and play from your hard drive?

The code for this worked great a few weeks ago, but now when I put it on my page, all I see is a black box where the player should be and I hear nothing. If I right click the black box it says something about flash player and "movie not loaded," but I made sure that was updated. Any suggestions?

This code has worked perfectly for months. Today it is showing up as just a black box. Has myspace disabled the code somehow? Thanks..

same for me, code worked for months, now it doesn't. It won't play my song at all. Could you please publish an updated code? I'm computer illiterate and I don't know how else to get my songs to play, all the songs on myspace music are no good or play just 20 secs of great songs. PLEASE HELP US!

EDITOR'S NOTE: It still works for me. I even tested adding a new MP3 song today. The player shows up and works great. You do know about the problems with Firefox, right? You need to use IE browser for this to work.

Thanks for your reply, like I said I'm bad with computers, I've had internet explorer all along and it's worked, but now it doesn't. I don't even know what Firefox is, I'm pretty sure I don't have it. Could I have it without knowing? I have a wma song, I can't see the player because I have that section invisible on my page so I can't even see what it's doing.

My player is still not showing up on myspace profile page if I view it from my own account. BUT, everyone else can see and hear it (except Firefox)! So, even though you may not think it is showing up, ask a friend to view it. I have 2 accounts and can see it from the other account. Strange... It does make editing a little bit more difficult but worth it.
