Is it possible to upload a music in 360 so when someone open your page he hears a music?

Question

360

Answer 1

no. but on aim u can do that

Answer 2

No, not when they first arrive on your Top Page. The best you can do there is put a link to a MP3 file in your blast, but the visitor would have to click the play button to hear the music.

However, if you direct them to your blog area and you have an entry on your blog's first page that has music set on autoplay, then that can be accomplished.

You actually have two URLs for your 360 space. One for your top page that starts with http://360.yahoo.com and one for your blog that starts with http://blog.360.yahoo.com . You can give out your blog URL instead of your Top Page one. Yet you would have to continuously make sure that an autoplaying music player is on the first page of the blog.

If you are interested in setting up an autoplaying music widget/player in your blog, read on:

You can do it with music you upload OR you can use music other people have uploaded.

YOUR FILES:

Create a free account at http://www.imeem.com , http://www.esnips.com/ , http://www.fiql.com , or other similar services to upload the MP3 files, generate the EMBED code, and then copy and paste the player's EMBED code in a blog entry. At imeem.com the code can be set to include "autoplay" if you check the box next to the EMBED code. So, you can create a "playlist" as well as "individual MP3 files" for use in your blog.

- Compose a new blog entry

- Select the EMBED code you want to copy, then right-click to select "Copy."

- Check the "View HTML Source" box, position your cursor and right-click to choose "Paste." Uncheck the box to get back to the regular blog screen.

WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text. Also, there may be some slight delay in getting the audio to appear. If you refresh the page, it will probably show up.

* This method allows you to make music play automatically and create lists of music that don't require the user to log into an external site. However, when people visit your main page, the music will not play. They have to go directly to your blog and the blog page on which that entry is located. With Imeem (and other sites), you have to be careful because some songs require people to log into their site to hear beyond 30 sec. snippets.

* See examples of this here (although these two blog entries are no longer set on autoplay):

In the event that you want to use your music files, but they are in WMA or another format, I recommend installing and using the conversion program called Switch (http://www.nch.com.au/switch/ ) OR make sure that when you rip songs from a CD in Windows Media Player, that you choose the MP3 format (see instructions for that at http://www.askdavetaylor.com/produce_mp3... ).

OTHER PEOPLE'S FILES (a faster, easier method):

Create a free account at http://www.projectplaylist.com , http://www.seeqpod.com , http://www.last.fm/ , http://www.dizzler.com/ or other similar service. They allow you to search for songs ALREADY UPLOADED to their site or other sites. Then, you simply add those songs to a playlist. Generate the code for the widget. You may have to delete some extraneous Javascript code (between Style tags). Choose the EMBED code that applies to any site. If that's not available, try a MySpace version of the code. Embed the player according to the instructions under "Your Files" above.

For an example: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6f... (not music, but you could use music videos or plain audio in Dizzler instead)
