I have never been so distressed!

I am creating a website on spaces.msn.com

I see several other websites where there is a little box with Windows Media
Player, playing selected songs by the webmaster.

Since it is spaces.msn.com, I don't think we are allowed to edit the html of
the website, but you can insert HTML into your site by inserting some kind of
powertoy.

I feel as though I have searched everywhere I possibly could online to find
simple instructions on how to add music to my website (with a play and stop
button for visitors) but am confused as to why these instructions are so hard
to find...yet every other website has music or is streaming video on their
website. Why so illusive???

Can someone out there...PLEASE HELP ME...before I pull all of my hair out!

Thanks!
Steph

Thank you so much everyone in advance for helping out.

Hm... do you know what a signature is and in what relation to the actual
posting it stands? Hint: none.
Better learn quoting.
Or don't you have any clue about standard conformant HTML and you're too
lazy to read the spec or any simply reference like SelfHTML?

I even see smiley faces in that code below...why include
"blah" in your response? What is "Blah" mean?

"blah" is a meaningless phrase like "foobar", "hazzabalooza",
"wallawalladingdong" or "peace on earth".
Simply the IFrame just needs a unique name. And I forget to include the
<base target="blah"> before the IFrame, or at least a target="blah" in the
Anchor tags.

That'll work well enough for most people (it's not optimal, but then
neither is MSN spaces ;-)

Well, you need to add a playlist, and use that as the filename,
instead of an individual file. Create something like this in notepad:


<ASX version="3.0">
<TITLE>my playlist</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<REF
href="http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/radio/WMRadio-track1.mp3" />
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY>
<REF
href="http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/radio/WMRadio-track2.mp3" />
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY>
<REF
href="http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/radio/WMRadio-track3.mp3" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

Obviously, change the paths from hotwired.com to whatever your MSN
spaces web address is - you have to include the full path, directory
and filename as well as the web server http://bla part !

Save is as, say "myplaylist.asx" (not myplaylist.asx.txt !) and upload
it to your webspace. Then change the filename="blah" below, to
filename="myplaylist.asx"

Windows media's ASX is one way to do this, but it also can use .pls
playlists, which are compatible with winamp etc. That might be a
better overall idea if you expect non-windows users to view your site.

As Sebastian says, it's often preferable to provide a list of links to
a playlist or individual tracks as well / instead of forcing a
specific choice of media player on people hearing your tracks.

HTH

Because it's absolutely simple.

iframe name="blah" src="stop.htm"
a href="play.htm">Play</a> <a href="stop.htm">Stop</a

stop.htm:
[empty] :-)

play.htm:

I guess I should also mention that I am working with WMP v10, if that makes a
difference. Also, on the spaces.msn.com website, I do not think I am allowed
to use Javascripting...only HTML...
