HTML tag to play mp3 songs

bengaluru · Joined: 10 Dec 2006 Posts: 1

Hi guys,

I have a greeting card website and have 5 mp3 songs in a drop down list which the user can choose.

I want the <embed> tag to play the song the user has chosen. Any idea how I do this ?

Thanks for your help.

Check out these two scripts:

Web Midi JukeBox Application

Select a Hit

There are several more to pick from, too.

Hi,

I tried the code you wrote to play the mp3 songs.
as you wrote the code "select the song to play" does not work.

only the single song play each time.

i used the code as below:

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="player" action="" method="">
<select name="" id="cancion" onchange="PlayIt()" size="1">
<option value="none">::::::::::::: Choose Your Song Here :::::::::::::</option>
<option value="music/TinyStar.mp3">TinyStar</option>
<option value="music/MarinaManasulu.mp3">MarinaManasulu</option>
<option value="music/Nathadri.mp3">Nathandri</option>
<option value="music/Karunamayive.mp3">Karunamayive</option>
</select>
</form>
<span id="music">
<object type="application/x-mplayer2" width="300" height="45" data="">
<param name="src" value="music/TinyStar.mp3">
<param name="filename" value="TinyStar">
<param name="src" value="music/MarinaManasulu.mp3">
<param name="filename" value="MarinaManasulu">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="autoStart" value="false">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="type" value="application/x-mplayer2">
</object>
</span>

What could be the mistake!!!

As i can play only a single song each time when the window is opened. I can view the songs in the list but i can not play them.

Anybody has the solution??

Thanks,
Raj.

I have used this one and it works really well. All instructions are on the site http://www.premiumbeat.com/flash_resources/free_flash_music_player/

You need not know flash only how to edit an xml file.

Multiple Music Player might work as well.
