[ posts merged ]

i hate to bump this back up but i did that and it still doesnt work
im at a loss as to what im doing wrong

just for future reference, there's an "edit" link at the top-right of your posts

[sherryvu]

the code x_hobo_x gave you didn't work because you didn't put your codes into a codebox, so it didn't give the full URL to your music links. try this one
