First try
Coldplay-ClocksRoyksoppTremblingHeartRemix.mp3
I uploaded the mp3-file using the upload function on the Page Manager page. Then, in Page Creator, I made a link to the mp3-file.
Clicking on the link above plays 10-15 seconds of the music in Internet Explorer and in SeaMonkey (Mozilla). Why not the rest? Is this to prevent the illegal spread of music, or am I doing something wrong?
Second try
I used this piece of code that I inserted using the Edit HTML button in Page Creator mode. (thanks to Pakattack161 - see the forum)
<embed src="filename.mp3" autostart=true loop=1> </embed>
Initially the code is accepted in Edit-mode, a player control appears and the music plays for 10 seconds or so.
When you try to publish or to save nothing happens. Even after 10 minutes the code is not saved, nor can a preview be generated. The picture below is a screen shot of what I get to see during "saving".
When you cancel the save operation after 10 minutes and look at the html code, you will see that "Google" has deleted the embed code completely.
Third try
Following another suggestion from Pakattack161 I will try to insert an mp3 as background music using this code:
<bgsound src="filename.mp3" loop 1>
In case you are interested to know what happens, read again what I wrote under "Second try".
Fourth try
Well, I found out that while the mp3 that I uploaded is 1.8 Mb, the file that is in my list is only 1 Mb. So, I guess that Google uploads only about half my file, thus preventing me from illegally spreading music.
So this time I will try to use a file that is hosted at www.streamload.com where I have a FREE 25 Gb account.
What happens? When you click the link above, the file downloads to my computer, MusicMatch starts up and plays the file :-)
So there is a way to play your favourite music from your website, within the original Google Page, and without the need to do hocuspocus with html-code.
