How To Add Music

I tried and tried to make this code work, and I think I found the problem:
<div ="my_music">
SHOULD BE
<div id="my_music">

How do you get rights for songs?

Well, I am not new to edit web-pages, but pasting the code from Magnatune in my Gallery description is not working. In fact the explanation here "How to add music" tell all about where to get the music from, but not a word about how to add music...like where to past the code, and tips in case like mine when is not working.

If I purchased a song, do I have rights to be able to play it on my website? Is there a place where I can read about copyright issues regarding music?

Thanks

Hi -

Using the approach described here, will the music remain on while the user stays on the site... until they click the "OFF" button?

If the user navigates to another page on your site, will the music re-start from the beginning.... or continue smoothly?

Thanks,

I have  finally gotten my music (and slide show) to work on my site here: http://russmacdonald.smugmug.com/

Here's what I did:

Copied the code from Magnatune into my Footer.

Then, I added this in front of it:

 <div id="my_music"

and this after it:

</div>

These two Div tags enclose the code and name it "my_music".

At this point the music will play on all pages of your site. Unfortunately, the music will always restart when you go to a new page, and I did not want that.

So, I entered the following code in my CSS to make the music only play on the home page.

\#my_music {display: none;}
.homepage #my_music {display: block;}

Unfortunately, I had a slide show on my first page, and I had used the trick of duplicating my home page to move my galleries off the first page, so I had to add one more line to stop the music from playing on you galleries page:

.galleries #my_music {display:none;}

Now it works right.

with the Magnatude site... how do you pick just ONE song like the example above?  Everything I see you can only pick an entire album!  Any ideas?

There's a typo in the initial instructions.  It says:

and should be

I did not use this code, but I was able to get music to play without any issues. I was even able to contain it to just the "Fake" home page that I am using, and not play on the real home page.

Hi joined imeem. I clicked on their embed link and got a very long code, which I pasted into my footer. I added the CSS codes suggested to have the music only play on my home page, to no avail. The music played on all my pages and would start from the beginning with each click. Very annoying. Please help. Here is the long code from imeem. Please help. I would luuuuuuvvvvv music on my homepage.

How do i add song on my web site? i have a song that i'm allowed to put in my web but i do not know how

I can't get it to autostart here is my line of code

<embed src="http://www.4shared.com/embed/119880808/4647e138" width="420" height="20" autostart="true" loop="true">

Please help

and can i get this to play on all pages ?

I have tried every suggestion listed above and am still not getting any sound at all.  This is getting very frustrating.  I just want to be able to play one song throughout the whole site.  I need very simple, detailed instructions, because apparently I am an idiot   Thanks

All I would like to do is put two old rock songs on my photo site. I do know I have the rights to them, hell I sang them. I'm not interested in having them play all the time or anything like that. I would only like them to play if someone pushes the "button" for them.

ok...I am so confused...can I put a song that I have saved on my computer on my home page.  I have the "rights" to post it on my site, but I don't understand where I put it with regards to the codes.  jhfusionphotography.com  (smugmug)  Heather
