Add Music to Myspace - Comments Page 1

You dont have to post this! I just wanted to say thanks so much for your site! It has helped me so many times! I really appreciate how simple your instructions are! Its amazingly easy to follow...even for the * TECHNOLOGICALLY IMPAIRED * So....thanks so much for your great, hard work!! =P

aaaaaaa i did all that about the background music but it just doesnt play automatically. i dont have delete either. it just says view or add. i have to press play to get it to work... :(

hayyyyy - umm yea i have a song n its all good and stuff...like i works. excpt the only problem is that i have to click to play. idk how to make it play automatically..soo yea haha. this site is awesmoe tho..wicked easy directions!

EDITOR'S NOTE: That depends on how you added it to the page. Can you post further details?

I have an MP3 on my hard drive, and I wanna use that for Myspace profile. Can I do that?

EDITOR'S NOTE: No, the file must be on the Web. Get a free website at Geocities and put the file there, then link to it from your Myspace account.

Can you add music thats not on myspace? I have this song i really want to add to my profile but i dont think myspace has it anywhere. Is there a way i could add it anyway?

EDITOR'S NOTE: YES... follow the instructions in the latter part of the article.

Hi... thanks for the instructions on how to embed music from my computer on myspace. I found a few free file host sites that provide codes and all but they are only enabled on Internet Explorer. How can I enable it to play on Firefox?

PS: you run a great INFO/FAQ ! tnx! hope to hear from you....

EDITOR'S NOTE: I just made a free page at Geocities and uploaded a file... all with Firefox. Did you try that site?

I tried to add a song following your exact instructions and it does the same thing... doesn't play automaticly. Is there a way to get it to play when you open the page? www.myspace.com/shiznic thanks

EDITOR'S NOTE: Was it a Myspace song, or one that's hosted somewhere else on the Web?

Does the music clip have to be a WAV clip. I have an MP3 clip saved to a site and it doesn't seem to work.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This method should support WAV, AU, MID, and MP3 files. And possibly others...

You also use the PixPix.net audio player. Hopes you like it.

hi... i just followed ur instructions and got the player in myspace profile but the song doesnt play automatically.... we hav to hit the play.... could u plz tell mehow to make it play automatically when some1 opens the profile...??

Hey, I was wondering if you knew how to add a myspace song onto a group I have created?

EDITOR'S NOTE: There's no "official" way to add a song to a Myspace group, but here's one tricky way to do it. First, add the song to your Myspace profile. Then view the profile, and use the View Source function of your browser to see the HTML code for the profile. Copy the EMBED command for the song and paste it into the Description field of your Group. Here's an example of it in practice: http://groups.myspace.com/stinkybananas

I found that if you put the Height "#" and Width "#" both to zero, people cannot control your music. there is no player, but the music still plays. Fun stuff.

Thanks for the post but how do you put more than one song in the player?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Unfortunately, Myspace only allows you to select one profile song. You could use the other technique I describe to add several of your own MP3 songs, each in a separate player.

I want to thank you very much on posting how to add music to a Myspace group. I got some music on my group page on Myspace. thanks to you. YOU DA MAN!!!

Is it possible to add or embed music in our myspace blogs?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, see http://www.AskBobRankin.com/add_music_to_myspace_blog.html

Hello! I have tried and tried to add and MP3 from my hard drive but have had no success at all! I created a geocities account and I did add an MP3 to the site (http://us.share.geocities.com/portland_brooke/wilco.mp3). I put it into the code that you suggested in a ton of differennt places. I put it into my myspace page and no luck. I was confused about which codes went where. Any ideas?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I checked your MP3, it's fine. If you give me your Myspace profile URL, I can check on the codes to see if they are correct.

If you wish to have your music autoplay you'll need an html code:

So, I just got a myspace, and well, I have only a few friends. Can I hide just the NUMBER of friends? Not all of my friends, I still want to be able to show that, but I don't want the number to show.

EDITOR'S NOTE: There are some custom friend list generators for Myspace (search at Google for that term). But why try to deceive? Just invite people to be your friend!

If you want music that isn't on myspace try looking at www.song2play.com. It gives you a code to post either in your about me section of your myspace profile or you can use it on a myspace group. Just post the code into the description area on your group and the song will play when people visit your group page.

I have a question. My band has made a demo cd and im trying to upload our demo cd onto purevolume.com but its saying it must be an .mp3 on the end of the code. Now it says invalid file type. How do I make it and mp?

EDITOR'S NOTE: You can use iTunes or similar to rip the individual tunes from the CD to MP3 files.
