The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

How does one embed music?

How would one go about embedding a music file to a forum or a blog? The advice sites I've looked at don't work...

Some forums do not allow embedding music. As for blogs, try using Javascript.

Some forums specifically block this activity because they don't like it and it can be interrupting and annoying.  We block it here (no html/java codes allowed).

Blogs...

Code:  on  
<EMBED SRC="url of music file" VOLUME="50" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="144">


*shrug* I haven't done this in years.

It depends on what you're trying to do.  Petrie's code will just make some music play once the page is loaded and you will have no control over it.  You must use a flash music player if you want control over the songs.
