You can also upload mp3 files into your trap17 webhosting web space. Just do like like how you usually upload normal html files. However, like many web hosting providers, the mp3 uploaded must not be copyrighted by other owners. This means that the mp3 music must be created by you.

Alternatively, you can search google on "mp3 hosting". There are quite a few free mp3 hosting servers to rely on. Also, you can upload to any free file hosting servers as well, like File Lodge.

The post is bit confusing. Do you not know how to upload the music file to your hosting or you want to provide music (in mp3 format or otherwise) on your website without downloading message?

If you're trying to add music but the method you're using now isn't playing the music but makes you download, try this page for further help

I was so sure we had a topic for embedded music tutorial, but I guess it wasn't this forum that I saw.

So you just want the mp3 music to play as a background music on your site. You can refer to the link given by BuffaloHELP. It's a method on how you embed a music or a media file on your webpage. Visiting the link shows an example of a MIDI music file playing when the page is launched.

Below is a summarised code to place within the body tags of your html files

The <EMBED> tags are rendered by Firefox and Netscape. Browsers which does not read those tags will read those within the <NOEMBED> tags. That includes Internet Explorer, Opera etc.

there's a player that you can use. it's called radio blog. you can convert the mp3's to rbs, a file that the player recognizes. converting the file minimizes the size (thus saving space). it compromises the quality of the music that you're playing, but it's a player none the less. it's as if you're listening to the radio... without the static of course. but for me it's totally fine, at least i could use a decent player for my website.

oh, one more thing. some knowledge of php would be helpful for you to understand the application, but it's not necessary. besides, they have included a short instruction on how you should use the application.

if you want to see how it looks like. check my blog, ai music section. check it out and see for yourself. just a note though, some of the posts contains our language, so you might not understand... but then again, that's not what you came there for, right?

anyway, if you think you find the player interesting, you could go to the official website and download the most recent version. radio.blog.club website.

ps. i'm not a part of the team that created the application, nor am i friends or associated with any of them. i just thought that this may help garbage in his problem.

I'm assuming you're trying to prevent hotlinking of your songs? Perhaps you can look into a hotlinking prevention method, or try the cpanel hotlinking prevention feature, in your cpanel.
