Myspace Music Problems - Comments Page 11

Thank you so much! If this page wasn't here I don't know how I would have figured out how to make my song play automatically. Thank you thank you so much!

I was wondering if you could help me as i am about to tear my hair out. I cant see any myspce videos or music... Youtube videos are fine but anything Myspace embedded just gives me a white box... I have recently loaded XP on my computer (i was 2000 before) and i CANT get it to work in either IE or FF. I have downloaded the lastest flash player and every other thing you can think of....

it is really bugging me now but i am completly clueless and am even thinking about reverting back to 2000 just because i know it works . Please please help... I have run out of things to download to try and fix it.... is this an XP problem? firewall problem what?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Could be a firewall... try disabling. DId you get the latest Quicktime?

On Myspace, I can't get the Myspace music player to play. When I look at a player on people's Myspaces I see the box but inside it says "Connection failed." Also when I go to band's Myspaces it says "Error Loading XML Document." Other people on Myspace can hear my song on my Myspace but I can't hear it or anyone else's. This has been going on for about a week now. I have the latest player of Adobe Flash and Quicktime, and I don't know what else to do. Can you help?

EDITOR'S NOTE Does it work with a different browser?

ok, so i am completely going out of my mind. a couple weeks ago my cousin was on my computer and compressed a whole bunch of files. and my dad fixed it and now myspace music won't work. i have tried updating quicktime and flash. i've reinstalled both, and nothing seems to happen. When its loading it looks like its loading and it says "error downloading music" its very frustrating. PLEASE HELPPPP ME.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I suggest System Restore -- http://askbobrankin.com/system_restore.html

Ok, so our band has a myspace page but something doesn't work in our "Upcomming Shows" section. It only shows the date, time, city and province. It doesn't show the venue with the link for the details of the event. Can you help us with that?

EDITOR'S NOTE: All I can suggest is to delete and re-add the entry, sorry.

I've gone onto my mom's laptop, and when I access Myspace from there, it works. It seems that it's a problem with my computer, but I don't know what to install or how to fix it!

I'm trying to figure out how to loop my audio player so it does not stop after one song. I noticed you said there is a loop="true" parameter, but where does this go in the overall code of the player?

EDITOR'S NOTE: See the discussion of AUTOSTART in this page: http://askbobrankin.com/add_music_to_myspace.html -- The concept is the same for LOOP.

When I pasted the code for my music player and saved it in the "Music" section of my profile, it changed part of the URL for the songs from "h1.ripway.com" to "h1...com" and of course, it doesn't play. I've tried to re-insert the correct tag, but it continues to save it this way. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like Myspace is filtering that particular site. What happens if you type "h1.abcway.com"? I know that won't work, but it will confirm that Ripway is being filtered. You could also substitute the IP address for the domain name. The IP for h1.ripway.com is 216.218.135.131

Having the same problem as a few people it seems. Before a system reinstall a few months ago, everything was fine. Since then, all I get on any myspace page is a blank white box where the player should be. This happens both with firefox and IE.

I've installed, and reinstalled, flash, shockwave, java, codecs, quicktime, the whole caboodle, and on every other site everything is as normal. Disabling firewall and AV does nothing. Properly stumped and its seriously frustrating...

I have the same problem as Grant. No music players will show, I have reinstalled both flash and QT, neither IE or Firefox will show the music player, all other flash objects work just fine. Sigh... I also tried disabling anti-virus, but it didn't help. Grant, may I ask which version of windows you're using?
