How to loop a MP3 on a Website?

Ros · 25th March 2003, 17:55

Hello there,

I have written this synthax <bgsound src="test.mp3" loop="infinite"> in the HTML code. It works, but at the end of the music, there is a small break to hear. In this case everyone notice that the music has started again...

Its hard to describe, but is there a way to encode in MP3 without the tiny break at the end (only by looping) ?

Thanks
Ros

play the mp3 in winamp. make it the only sogn in the playlist. turn off shuf/cross fade, ahev repteat on. if it still has the loop, my guess would be that the mp3 has the break at the end, and you'll need to find a proam to chop that part off.

Please dont, I hate sites that put up music, slows you down, and is rarly of any point.

I am just a noob testing around.

http://www.world-voices.com/resources/addaud.html gives plenty of info.

Personally, i'd reccomend using a .mid file instead of an mp3 or wav so people on dialup dont have to sit and wait 10 minutes for the file to load.

Its just 84.6 KB. Its small isn't it?

Yeh, that should be ok. It would add 15-20 seconds to the page loading time for dialup users, but just as long as the rest of the page doesnt contain too many images it should be acceptable.

Just remember most people will give up and close the window if a page takes too long to load.

Or if it's got a green and pink colourscheme.

There's no way you can play, as background, an MP3 ...
maybe on Windows 2003 Server

Like prev post doing this always prompt ...

1) The Default Media Player for your MP3
2) Download the MP3
3) Get Virus

If you dont believe me, take a look here:

http://www.atmodigitaldesign.com/intro/

Just a simple page with an embedded mp3 that loops (i'll remove the page later, it's just a demonstration on how to do it).

Does only works an IE?

Cool

Atmo · 25th March 2003, 22:20

I think it'll only work with IE. I tried it with mozilla, the file downloads but wont play (im guessing thats because it doesnt know what to play it with).

Please don't use any background sound. There's still somebody using not so fast connection (I'm now connected with GPRS phone, about 5 KB/s only). And many people are playing some music with their Winamps and they don't want to hear anything annoying background musics.
