So im trying to create a band website http://www.nascentdescent.zxq.net, I want to be able to upload my music onto this site, I have a page specifically for music on this site. But i dont know the best way to put music on here, i have scripts for some media players, but i have to upload my music somewhere to use them, and I dont know of any mp3 uploading sites, like photobucket works for images. If any one has any advice on the best way to add music on here id love to hear.

Thanks
Kevin

I do not believe the mp3 filetype is allowed or will be allowed. There are a lot of file storages sites that allow mp3 storage, just run a google search for mp3 file storage or something. I am sure you will be able to find a site that allows what you are looking for.

I dont really know how to go abouts this. Our music is all cake walk files, we transfered them to MP3 and MP4 format. how should i put the music on the site? should i use a media player code?

Heres a code for a media player, but im not sure how to use it, I mean i no How to insert it into my page, but i dont know how to add the music into the code, i know it goes in the src part, but i dont know how to write the file so it is readable

upload your music to a specific folder on your site and then you can link them to your media player. so like yourdomain.domain.com/mediaplayer -->which is connected to that folder with the music in that. sorry if im not being clear or understandable

how would i upload music onto my site?

through ftp. filezilla is a good ftp client. ftp is a way to upload your files here. it transfers them. try googling filezilla and downloading it. it works great and its free.

i used filezilla , so it allows me to upload anyfile? or atleast music files? i wasnt aware of that , thanks

ya it allows you to upload any file the server supports

If your using Zymic host, you are not allowed to upload .mp3 files, its type is not supported, upload your music somewhere else. But its plain and simple, just paste that script where you want the music displayed and modify the music path to the location of ur .mp3 file.

Which... like I said in my previous post... the file extension .mp3 is currently now allowed to be uploaded.

yup. or he can just change the file type...

Yeah, but that is sort of like sneaking into somewhere where you aren't supposed to be

if its just his band's music its not bad though. as long is its not piracy its probably fine. but if its not fine just do what paradox said

It is not currently allowed (at least on my account).
You could embed the song directly within a flash swf file.

what i think you need to do :

1) find a host where to upmload your MP3's because Zymic does NOT allow mp3 on there server.
- find a host (many hosts allow MP3's)
- use filezilla or what ever program you want to upload your songs on your mp3 host
- once hosted keep the links to your host (direct links like :: http://mysite.somehost.com/mp3s/myfirstsong.mp3)

2) http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player
- This is a flash mp3 player, you download this, upload to your zymic account
- http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard <<-- use this link to modify it, its a wizard that helps you create your very own mp3, instead of messing around with the src code and modfying variables just use this wizard that will do it for you
- its gonna ask you 2 important things :
- 1 - the src of your player, remember when i said upload the flash mp3 to your site ? well there is this mediaplayer.swf get the direct link and put it in the wizard (replace HIS link by YOURS)
- 2 - the .xml file is where you are going to put your playlist... i do not remember if there is a premade .xml file in the download but here is mine : http://mtzprod.com/clients/vins/playlist.xml so copy past and put the link of your .xml file inside the wizard
- modify the wizard infos, probably colors, or what you want.. the buttons.. its explained there...

3) the code
Once done you are going to receive a code.. put it on your webpage and you are going to have a pretty cool mp3 player... in flash.. which you can modify and can add songs very easily...
I used this for myspace because you can't upload your mp3 there... at least not correctly...

NOT advertising but here is what i got (with the SAME wizard i created 2 diferent players, video and audio.. just 2 different playlist...)

http://www.myspace.com/vins_imperial

Its a pretty cool MP3 player if you can't host your mp3's dirrectly onto your site...

good luck

Or instead of JW's player you can use mine:
http://www.bezzmedia.com/swfspot/samples/f...th_XML_Playlist

nicely done on that media player bezz

where is a site that i can create a xml play list?

Here's the format:

To add more tracks, just insert another line like this within the trackList tag

Im sorry guys but im still not figureing this out.....
right now here's how im understanding this.

Open a copy of notepad and paste this code into it. Im sure i have to edit something in this code but iono what part to edit. Then save it as an html doc.


Thanks
Kevin

In response to your earlier post...

if you know the URL of your actual songs (http://www.thispage.com/thissong.mp3) then you can use the code you used above, but replace "MY URL HERE" with yo actual url.



Notice it's in the embed tag.. It should work once you do that.

i tried that, but it didnt work.

That's because the URL you have listed is a html



I don't think it will embed a .html

It has to be an actual MUSIC file..

Maybe try a different host for the file? one that will actually allow a .mp3 or music file?

Also: When i went to that site, the above, it says that link isn't valid anyways.


http://www.filefreak.com/pupload/ - Try that site.. It allows .mp3 files, .wmp, .wav major audio formats..

still nothing....iono what im doing wrong...

Oops sorry Bezz, didnt know you had one with a playlist... if i knew i would of post yours... :/

oops, i posted the code with the wrong url, but this is the right url for the song, http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/54446/My%2...20Track%202.wma. and it still doesnt work, maybe ill try to plug it into bezz player and see if its the player

That works for me. try that code, copy and paster it exactly.

i feel dumb for still not getting this..... i get the concept but everytime i apptemt it, it doesnt seem to work.

Would some one be willing to use bezz's player and simply write this song into it so it works?
http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/54446/My%2...20Track%202.wma

That way i can see how it should look, then next time hopefully i can figure it out.

I think i have the xml playlist right, i think its the html code thats not right.
Thanks
Kevin

oops, i didnt see you updated your post crea , that works thank you so much , so from now on i should just have to add/edit the music to put it in?

Yes - Every time you want to use it you could just copy and paste the entire code, replacing ONLY the URL to the song.

hmmmm, so i cant do this?


hmmmm, I want to be able to add several songs to the same player, i like bezz's player a lot, i just dont no how to make the html part work, i got my play list uploaded on my site, but i have to add the actual player, and im not sure what the script should look like, can some one please show me how it should work?

this is the normal code, from bezz's site.

1) Download the built mp3 player, upload it to your zymic account.
2) Download the XML playlist, upload it to your zymic account
3) Get all your songs and upload them into filefreak (since i see its the place you choosed to upload your files)
- Never mentioned ? i think they MUST be MP3's and not WMA's...

So everything is online now, what you need to do is modify 2 things : Above code / Playlist.

The Player Code :


[

See the code above, well the url's are WRONG, they are not pointing to your site. SO : what you need to do is point it to the correct URL or example : my sites url is mtzprod.com and all my files are inside the main folder !

http://www.mtzprod.com/musicplayer.swf?aut...om/playlist.xml

See replace the link above by this one, there are actually 2 links as you can see, the DATA="" and the VALUE="" change both links (they are the same)
If my files were in a specific folder on my site such as /themp3 than it would be like :

http://www.mtzprod.com/themp3/musicplayer....p3/playlist.xml

Once you are done changing your links and point the playlist and the player to the specific location just put the code inside your site where ever you want.

The Playlist


Everything is done but the playlist, your player is up the locations of the files are done BUT your playlist is actually wrong since the files location are not good.

This is the code from bezz's site :



As you can see there are 2 songs in this playlist code, you can ofcourse put as many as you want... just copy past from <track> to </track> Replace titles and the location of your songs (MP3'S OFCOURSE)

_____________

I think it should work, if it doesnt its probably because they are WMA's or the filefreak sucks choose an other host, many free hosts....

Good Luck

@MrTouz: Thanks a bunch, that's exaclty what i needed. I think you may be right that it only plays mp3s..... http://www.nascentdescent.zxq.net/Discography.html. There's the link, i think its not playing just because ther wmas, music will play from the other player, but just pause that and you wont here anything. Is there a program that converts wma into mp3? isnt wma just windows media players file name? if so if i uploaded the music into to say itunes, would it save as mp3?

hmmmm..... i even uploaded a mp3 and it didnt work either

Oh crap,
I missed a tag when updating the format. It has now been corrected. Redownload the swf file and it should work now. Sorry.
I don't think wma works with flash. I'd stay clear from that drm'd format anyways.

kk ill try it, thanks bezz, yeah im not a fan of wma either, is there a converter that changes wma to mp3?

found one undefined, in case anyone else needs.

winamp can do the conversion as well.

But, These specific files are banned from use on Zymic due to Copyright Infringment.
I highly suggest you remove anything which you do not have a Copyright licence for!

xilisoft is really good. its free / paid it depends what you want, it converts only the 5 minuts of a file.. if its longer its deleted... so for songs... its PERFECT

I have the copy right for the music, since i created it....

We recorded it in our studio and the pc there doesn't have internet because we dont need it there. So my buddy used windows media to burn the file )iono why). But when you burn with windows media and then upload it on another pc is uploads as a .wma, so i simple converted my own file. Nothing illegal about that.

ya...its his own copyright...

do what ever you want with it, but be carefull when you upload it on a website... i mean if anyone gets the source they can DL your song.. claim they made it and the bla blablablablalbla... just be carefull if they are really awsome songs !

If you had actually read my post: I said that I highly suggest you remove anything which you do not have a Copyright licence for!

Regards, Valency.

sorry valency i didnt mean to attack you, i get what you mean
Thanks
Kevin

are you want ? http://hsq.vn/hipe/

you can change extension file type from mp3 to wav...i have try it before..it work..but got some problem i think.

<ninja>
If you want to be sneaky you could probably rename your files names like somesong.blah and upload the files. Then use .htaccess so the user can request somesong.mp3 and it fetches somesong.blah, but they see it as somesong.mp3.
</ninja>

I'll write the script if anyone is interested.

why would you want this script? to use music illegally? lol, i own the writes to all the music ill be uploading

No, it would be a loophole to get mp3s onto your zymic account.

ooo gotcha, i wouldnt mind seeing the script
