Add Hard Drive Song to Myspace
Category: Social Networking
"I have a song on my hard drive (an MP3 music file) and I want to add this song to my Myspace profile. I don't want to use a song from the Myspace Music library, the song is already on my hard drive, but I can't figure out how to make it visible to Myspace. How can I do that?"
This is a common question, because so many people have MP3 music files on their hard drives. But in order for something to show up in a web browser (on Myspace or elsewhere) it **MUST** be on the Web. Files on your personal hard drive are only accessible to you.
If you have a song on your hard drive and you want to use it on your Myspace profile, you must first upload that music file to the Web. If you don't have a personal website, I recommend that you get a free account on GeoCities and upload your MP3 file there. Make note of the URL (web address) of the uploaded MP3 file, then plug it into the example below:
<embed allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://www.geocities.com/example/sample.mp3"
height="60"
width="145"
autostart="true"
loop="false"
width="0"
height="0">
<noembed>
<bgsound src="http://www.geocities.com/example/sample.mp3" loop="false">
</noembed>
</embed>
Now login to Myspace, edit the I'd Like to Meet section of your profile and paste the above code there. Visit your Myspace profile, you'll see the music player graphic and hear the selected sound clip play.
