With the growth of personal websites and blogs, the need to add a bit more zest to a website in order to help it stand out has become more important than ever. Therefore, knowing how to add music to your website might be a skill that you will want to eventually acquire. For sure, it is nowhere near as hard to do it as it was just several years ago.
The first thing you should do, before even adding music, is to think about what adding that amount of information to a website may do to it in terms of uploading and downloading by a user. If the music files are so large that they cause a user's computer to freeze up or slow down, the chances of them just deciding not to visit your site will probably be fairly high. Keep this in mind.
The next thing to look at when adding music is to check out the choice of sound formats available to you. While it is the case that more people than ever have high-speed Internet hookups, there are still quite a few people out there with 56k modems -- meaning they are dialing up. A basic sound format that loads easily usually comes in MIDI or.mid, for example.
However, if you're more interested in presenting a high-quality listening experience in a file for your users you're going to want to put your music on the website using an MP3 or.mp3 file. Such a file is higher quality than a MIDI and while it does take a bit longer to download using a 56k modem, most listeners would probably appreciate the quality evident in the file.
Normally, there are a couple of different ways to add the music. If you have a good quality web host, you can choose to upload the music to your site using what is called an FTP -- or file transfer protocol -- client. For those who don't want music starting up once someone arrives at the site, they can instead just create a simple hyperlink that visitors can click on. This makes use of HTML code.
All you need to do is go into your dashboard or behind the scenes control panel and add -- anywhere in the body of the website -- the following code reference: music.mid. With it, you'll not only be able to create a link which will -- when clicked -- provide quality music, but also will be very easy for your visitors to manipulate.
