For example, I want to put lectures and "mini-lessons" on a website that my students can download to their mp3 players. Do I need a web-hosting account to do this? How do I get digital files into my website?

Songs can't be "in HTML". I think you are talking about adding a link to a song file. To do this, the song must be uploaded and saved on the internet (not on/in a webpage), then you can add a link (not the type you click on) to the song.\n\nI am not clear on what you mean by a "very basic music player" (possibly Java?), but the way I would add a song to a webpage would be to use the embed tag. This is pretty simple; all you have to do is add the following to the place you want the controls of the player to be.\n\n<embed src="URL" autoplay="true/false" width="PixelsW" height="PixelsH">\n\nReplace URL with the URL or path of the music file. Replace PixelsW with the width you want the player to be (in pixels; the number you want will vary depending on your preferences and the audio format you use, try starting at 250 and adjust it from there), and PixelsH with the height you want the player (same as the width, only start at 50 pixels) Setting autoplay to true will make the file play as soon as the page is opened.\n\nIf you can't edit the HTML of your page, or you like the player you have better; try adding the URL of the song file to your player--not any HTML.\n\nOh, I see; I just went to musiccodescentral.com and saw what you are doing. They are using the embed tag as well--only they make it for you and put in an ad. All you have to do is find a song you like and use its URL in an embed tag as described above (that way you wont get any ads), or you could probably use its URL in the music player you have (I still don't really know what your using). I don't of any websites where you can find free songs, but all you have to do is find any website with the song you want (it doesn’t have to make the code for you because you know how to make it yourself now) and find the song’s URL (this shouldn’t be hard; if the website has a download link simply right-click on the link and select properties). Another option is to upload a song from your computer to the internet and use its address for the URL; just don’t do anything illegal.\n \nTo find out how you can further customize the embed tag (go to 29b; I know that it says movies, but it is the same for music), or learn more about HTML (start from the beginning; I recommend this, it will help with browsing the internet as well as website building), go to the website below:\n\nhttp://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/lessons.html\n\nHope this helps!

songs for your web site should be in .midi format..I dson't think you can download those from limewire...you would need a program to convert from mp3 to .midi

for a first time web devloper i would use something like geocitites that makes the site for you and even host it\n\n(geocitites.com)\n\nif your looking for something to make it on your hard drive you could make it on a program like dream weaver or frontpage but please keep in mind unlike geocities this is not free

Try clicking on the "Insert" menu, go to "Picture", and click on "Video...", then select the file. This might work for music as well.\n\nBut this doesn't work for me (at least not with video). I would suggest learning some basic HTML; it will help a lot with building your website, and even browsing the internet.\n\nThis is where I learned basic HTML (you should start from the beginning, but you could skip to 29b to learn about the <Embed> tag).\n\nhttp://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/lessons.html

I'm not gonna get too detailed but these three links a pretty good for info and code on how to put an mp3 player on your site. Will require a little coding but should be pretty straightforward.

You could set up a ftp server.  That way the users could use an ftp client to drag and drop.  \n\nOtherwise I think people are using RSS feeds for their podcasts, so users could subscribe to the feed and tell it to download all files.

Sure, there are several approaches.  I haven't seen those sites, but if they can play right inside your browser, that's great.  Open the site in a new tab (window for you IE crew), start the radio going, then open your favourite MP3 player (iTunes, WinAmp) and start playing the music you want.\n\nYou might have some troubles with sound balance; it might be hard to adjust the browser sound output levels, so adjust your master volume, then get the music at the right level in your audio program.\n\nIf you want music from the web too, open the radio station in iTunes or similar, or a new tab in Firefox (which you should have).  I'm not sure how to sort out volume differences between tabs, but you might be able to adjust it from the webpage itself.\n\nHope this is of help.....

Part of the reason why you need to keep asking this question over and over again is you're not asking for the right thing.\n\nMy guess is that you want to be able to link to an MP3 file that's hosted on another Web site. If I'm wrong, my apologies, but again, you need to ask the question better, by which I mean, describe what you want to be able to do.\n\nWhat you want is to find a free Web host where you can post your own music files, and which allows hotlinking to those files. Then, you can make your own URLs to the files.\n\nGeocities will allow you to upload MP3 files to the server and hotlink them. The problem, however, is that you have a total bandwidth limit, per day, with Geocities. Also, you can't upload files larger than 5 MB per file, and you have only 15 MB of storage space in a free Geocities account.\n\nI'm not sure what the daily bandwidth limit is, but there is a limit, so if you get a lot of traffic at the site to which you are hotlinking these files, they'll stop playing after a while.\n\nYou can see what I am talking about by clicking this link:\n\nhttp://geocities.com/i_hates_spam/Genchildren.mp3\n\nYou may be able to find additional Web hosts that will allow you to hotlink MP3 files. I don't know of many because I don't tend to use free hosting.

you need to have the music on your puter to do it... but if you do here is how to get it on your page.. \ngo to the site below.. there is a link to fileden on there.. you need to upload songs there..take the free account.. it will give you url address for the songs.. then place the urls in the flash player on profile tweeks... to get your code you can do up to 20 songs for your page..\n\n\nhttp://www.profiletweaks.com/mp3player.php

First you will need to look into the market and make sure it's profitiable. Considering the cost of a disc and how easy it is to convert to mp3, it may not be profitiable. Just trying to give you a heads up, but if you want to start anyway, just make a Web page offering your services. See below for free internet hosting sites. Good Luck!

You can offer online playback feature by using RealMedia File format as they are for that purpose with high compression (i.e., for streaming) and you can place the corresponding object on your page to play the file.

Why are you trying to save other people's web-sites to a folder?\nWhat browser are you using?\nWhat steps are to taking to 'save website' to a folder?

uploading large file sizes to you homepage account isn't always a good idea. sometimes it's not even possible. upload your music here http://www.supload.com/ and put the code they give you on your pages.\n\nunless you have broadband there is no point in thinking about watching movies on the web. the movies will jerk too much even after you get some of it to download and buffer it. dialup is not suited for that.

You can easily make a playlist in Windows Notepad. BE SURE TO PRESS ENTER AFTER EACH URL (EXCEPT THE LAST ONE). then save it as playlist.m3u\n\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/song1.mp3\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/song2.mp3\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/song3.mp3\n\nNow you go here and use this free web-based tool to make the HTML/XHTML source code for you. When it asks you for a width and height type in zero so the controls and video viewing area do not show on your page.\n\nhttp://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step1.php\n\nWhen it asks for the filename just type in playlist.m3u\n\nYou can take that even farther like below.\n\nLet's say you have several of these playlists with various songs in them. You can make a master playlist that will play all of them. Just repeat what I did above in Notepad. BE SURE TO PRESS ENTER AFTER EACH URL (EXCEPT THE LAST ONE). \n\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/playlist1.m3u\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/playlist2.m3u\nhttp://www.yourdomain.com/playlist3.m3u\n\nNow save that as masterplaylist.m3u you can even mix playlists together. Some with videos and somE with just music. IF YOU ARE USING THIS AS BACKGROUND MUSIC DO NOT USE VIDEO PLAYLISTS!\n\nThese techniques work with all multimedia filetypes such as wav, midi, au, mp3, asx, asf, swf, mpeg, mov etc.\n\nI have one playlist with 2100 songs in it. Maybe one of these days I'll finally get to the end of it :lol:\n\nDo not link to music/video files on other people's site without their permission. It will eat up all their data transfer and then they won't be able to listen to their own music. You wouldn't like it if they did it to you. Instead upload the music to your own site or to a free multimedia host like http://www.supload.com/ and link to them there. Try to avoid these if you can. If there server is down for maintenance or for some other reason the files won't play on your site.\n\nNOTE: You don't have to save these as playlist or masterplaylist. I just used those names because they best described what I was talking about. You can call them "bumperthumpers" if you want to. I don't care. :)
