Mp3 Playing/Downloading Options

[JlIaTMK]

Okay, I am fairly sure that when you do a regular link such as

CODE

<a href="music.mp3">My Song</a>

That is SHOULD play the song [as in going to a media player].

But my links, that I uploaded onto my server, go the the downloading screen that says [open, save, close] (just like any other downloading screen).

Do you know what the problem may be?

If you can help, I would like to know the code that will play my mp3 file urls [and im 100% sure they're mp3 files].

Thank You

it gets a little complicated.

There are simple codes, but that is only if you want the file to start playing by itself when the page loads, OR have a control panel on it to tell it to start.
The control panel is troublesome, coz depending on the default media players everyone has, it looks different for everybody and hard to blend into design.

either way, here's the code:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><EMBED SRC="YOURSOUNDFILEHERE" AUTOSTART=true LOOP=true ALIGN="CENTER" width="number" height="number"><br /></EMBED><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

(you can turn autostart off, specify width and height for a control panel)

if you want a link sort of thing to play music when you click on it. then it involves some other tricks. like creating 1x1 iframe and load hidden music pages in there. stuff like that
