Adding Music To Email and Pagebuilder


   We cannot upload music midis or wavs to the Scrapbook and it is not proper to remote link to music files without permission. Otherwise, you are stealing bandwidth and costing that server money without the benefit of advertising credit. So we need to find a link friendly site for midis like Dot.mid, Lavenderxena's Free Midis or Norbert's Linkables. People like this have paid for a webhost service to allow you to link to their midi files. Try to use midi sites that are careful not to use copyrighted midis. I know that Dot.mid and Lavenderxena sequence their own midis and are copyright free as far as the sequencer is concerned. This has been the latest battle in the courts over copyrights of sequenced midis. Those affected are midi sites and not single users, as far as I know.

When you find a song that you like, click on that song title. When the song is playing, press the goto key. Press the "show last" button on the goto key. Press cmd and A at the same time. Then, press cmd and C at the same time.

Now, go to your email signature box or Pagebuilder and add a text box. Put your cursor, where you want to add the midi code and press cmd and V to paste the midi URL.Put that midi URL in with this code:

<bgsound src="URL of midi or wav" loop="-1">

The attribute loop="-1" means that the music will play indefinitely. You can put in any specific number of repetitions that you want like loop=20.

OR

You can use these codes:

<embed src="URL of midi or wav" autostart="true" loop="40">

Using 40 for the number of repetitions is arbitrary, since there is no code for infinite with the embed tag. You can use any number that you want instead of 40.

If you want to make sure that almost all computer users can hear your music, use this crossbrowser code that combines the two codes above.

<embed src="URL of midi or wav" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="number of repetitions"> <noembed> <bgsound src="URL of midi or wav" loop="number of repetitions"></noembed>
