Have you ever seen a webpage that played music and wondered "how did they do that?" Well, this page will tell you how.

This is the HTML code I use to put music in my shop on Neopets (but it should work fine on any webpage) :

<BGSOUND SRC="http://merona.homestead.com/files/Xfiles.mid" autostart=true>

You don't have to understand it to use it. Just copy and paste it into the webpage's source. This code is for an invisible song that cannot be turned off once the webpage is loaded.

If you want the song file to actually show up on your page instead of just playing, you will need a code that looks like this:

<EMBED SRC=http://merona.homestead.com/files/Xfiles.mid VOLUME="80" AUTOSTART=TRUE LOOP=TRUE HIDDEN=FALSE>

NOTE: this code will not work on Neopets pages.

You will need to change the filename to the song you want. This is the string after "SRC=" For example, if I wanted to my page to play invisible Greensleeves music, I would change the code to:

<BGSOUND SRC="http://merona.homestead.com/files/Greensleeves.mid" autostart=true>

Likewise, if I wanted my site to play visible Greensleeves music, I would use this HTML code:

<EMBED SRC=http://merona.homestead.com/files/Greensleeves.mid VOLUME="80" AUTOSTART=TRUE LOOP=TRUE HIDDEN=FALSE>

All my songs are located at homestead.com. That's why these codes all use the address "http://merona.homestead.com/files/name of song.mid". If you know the web address of another song you want to use, just subsitute that address for the address of my songs (the part after EMBED SRC=). If you want to use any of my songs, just change the name after "files/". Here is a list of my songs:

Xfiles- theme from the tv show, used in first example
HOCUS006- an upbeat song from the computer game "Hocus Pocus"
