First save whatever work you have done by pressing the picture of
a floppy disk on the toolbar. When that's finished click on edit and choose
HTML Source from the pop-up menu. If you haven't assigned an external editor,
like notepad or simple text, then you will be prompted to do so. The text
editor will then open up with the source code. Scroll down to the bottom
of the page. The last two commands are :
</BODY></HTML>
Click the cursor in front of the </BODY> and hit return a couple
of time to clear out some space. Put the cursor above the </BODY> tag
and type in the next lines substituting your file name where you see green
print.
<EMBED SRC="sound.mid" WIDTH="144"
HEIGHT="60" AUTOSTART="TRUE" VOLUME="100%" HIDDEN="false">
<BGSOUND SRC="sound.mid" AUTOSTART="true"
WIDTH="144" HEIGHT="60" HIDDEN="false">
Why two commands that look like they are doing the same thing? The reason is that Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator use different commands for putting sound on a page.
These commands are set up to embed the sound on the page, show a
console, and automatically play the song. You can customize the commands
a little.
1. if you do not want a console change HIDDEN="false" to HIDDEN="true",
you can also leave out the width and height commands.
2. If you do not want the song to play automatically change AUTOSTART="true"
to AUTOSTART="false", You must include a console if you do not AUTOSTART.
3. You adjust the volume by changing the percentage.
Save your file with the text editor and then close the HTML Source window. When you go back to Netscape Composer it will say that the page has been changed by an external program and then asks if you wish to reload. Tell it yes.
You can embed several different sound file types, AU, WAV, and MID. Of these the midis or MID are the best. hey can be very detailed music files but take up a small amount of space making them load faster. Wavs and AOs are actuall sound recordings and can be very large. Be sure to use the correct extension for your sound files
.mid or .midi for midis
.au for
au files
.wav or .wave for wave
files
If you think you have done everything right and still can't get your music to work, get in contact with your ISP and ask them about the extension mapping on their server.
