how do I add an mp3 to a forum post??

24 years ago

I need to know (for a diffrent forum) how to add a mp3 to my post. I would rather if it was not a clickable player, but one that plays automaticly.

I have found codes for midi's but what want to play is a mp3.

is this possible??

I don't know of any forum that would let you put an mp3 on a post because of the size. Most of our mp3's are anywhere from 3 to 5 mb.

I agree with Mary Ann , Mps are huge files, but a midi is a small file could you use that? It at least would put the music for it.

1. You can go to the Gallery link at the top of the page and follow the directions for posting there. 2. You can post within a message here by using HTML language. but it's necesary to have the photo stored someplace on the Internet so that you can link to it. The HTML code is: *img src="URL"> except you have to replace the leading asterisk with a backward facing carat (the mirror image of the last character). If I hadn't made that change, you wouldn't be able to view the code. You also have to replace URL with the specific, full web address of the photo (and you leave the quote marks as shown). I have my pictures stored in a free account at photobucket.com. When you upload a photo to the site it creates a tag at the bottom of the picture. If you cut and paste the tag line into your message here, it automatically inserts the HTML language and you don't have to bother typing anything. Hope that's clear.

The easiest way I found to do pictures on here is to use the free site Photobucket. Upload your pics to an album, and make that album public (for viewing). Each picture on there has a link you can click to embed the code into a web page. It copies that code to your clipboard, then you just paste into your post. After first pic in post, then drop down a line or two and go through the same process with your second, third, fourth, etc. pics. Easy as pie to use Photobucket in this way, and, is recommend by many on the GW forums. Hope this helps, Bryan

Audacity records digital audio information. If you're recording a sound sourced from a record, with the sound source connected to a PC, it's gone through a A to D conversion. Which is what my first comment today mentioned as a factor limiting quality. PC level sound converters are of low quality generally. A really good one all by itself costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Whether a sound is stored in analog form or in consumer digital source, at the point where it's inside a PC and "recordable", it's digital. Digital is digital, the original source doesn't matter as far as ways to record it. When you say "OP", are you talking about the conversation above from many years back? PS - there's nothing at all wrong with sound stored in digital form, per se. Most modern musical sound recordings are stored in that way. But at the recording studio level, the sound is lossless and is at VERY high bitrates and VERY high sample rates, much higher in both regards than anything available or playable at a consumer level. Playback of such recordings over appropriate equipment sounds nearly exactly the same as the sound was live.

Why would you not want the user to have controls available?

I personally can't stand being forced to listen to music I don't want to hear and usually just close the site and go elsewhere.

Just a thought...

Sorry, I had this posted in two places!
and forgot to check back here! OOPS!

I hadn't thought about the size of the file!!
And I know all about the size limits, due to the sigs that we post on this particular forum!!
Just didn't put two and two together on that one!!
Now I feel stupid!! DUHHH!!!

MC: I do agree with you about having to listen to music that I don't like on sites and forums.I tend to not go back either.

But this particular forum/BB is a private one for a few of us that play the same online game.
In THIS case it would not have been inappropriate.
And I would have had it on it's own thread, not on the actual forum page.

Thank you all for your input.....
I ended up just posting a link to a Commercial site that had the song there.
