You can insert mp3 player into any page or message. It may serve to let visitors listen to various compositions. It may be a background for you site (do not abuse this capability, don’t forget that mp3 files weight quite a lot, and not all users have broadband Internet access. They won’t be able to load your site in case of automatic playback)

It is used in the following way:
By means of the BB-code:

Code

[audio] [/audio]

Having entered the following

Code

[audio]http://forum.ucoz.com/i_love_ucoz.mp3[/audio]

we'll get

You can also insert a player with the help of JS-code.
To get it use Multimedia - > Insert audio (mp3)
or Multimedia - > Upload audio (mp3) [after uploading press JS-code near necessary file]
As a result, for the mp3 file at http://forum.ucoz.com/i_love_ucoz.mp3
we'll get the following code

Code

You can also insert it into any place of your site. Besides, it has controlled parameters (settings), which we’ll describe below.

Quote

auto=0;small=0;color=0055e9;loop=0;textoff=0

Values in bold type may be changed from 0 to 1. In this way, you’ll enable them. By means of "color" specify code color.
So, if we change in the code
auto=0 for auto=1 - a song will be played automatically (be careful with this feature, think of those who have slow Internet and paid traffic).

small=1 – will display a small player of two buttons. Here it is:

loop=1 – a file will be played back non-stop (till you press stop)

textoff=1 – will remove text (e.g. "i_love_ucoz.mp3" in the example above)

color=0055e9 (player color management) –instead of 0055e9 write the code of a desired color. Codes can be found out from tables or in Photoshop by clicking on a color.
Example. Let’s take the code of the black color - 000000

Code

we'll get:

Music as a background

Code

where
URL – file name
loop – number of repeats, if loop="infinite" - unlimited
format - .wav .mid

EMBED tag

It is used to insert into pages multimedia content and other files.

Code

height sets vertical size of embedded object

width sets horizontal size of embedded object

autostart sets possibility to start while loading, takes on the values "true" or "false"

loop sets number of repeats, takes on the values "true" or "false"

hidden allows to hide active module, takes on the values "true" or "false"

src specifies URL of a multimedia file

pluginspage specifies URL of the plug-in for playing back a multimedia file

bgcolor sets background of the object

type specifies multimedia file type

quality specifies multimedia file quality

alt sets alternative content

Code

As you can see from the example you can insert Flash files, as well as video and audio.

You can write a code with minimal number of attributes

Code

Music in a pop-up (new) window

There is nothing difficult, use JavaScript

On the page where you want to place the button "Play music" insert the following code between the < head> tags

Code

width=300 height=300 – width, height

http://www.ucoz.com/music.html – link to the page with your music

Then put in any place of the page either the link

Code

<a href="#" onClick="openWindow()">Press to play music</a>

or the button

Code

<button onClick="openWindow()">Press to play music</button>

SummerStar, We don't help with these custom codes. Make a Thread in User COmmunication , you might get help there , but not in the official threads/boards about non-uCoz related codes

aStrea, use this code:

But you will need an .mp3 file, not a YouTube video.

Teacher1659, please provide the correct website url, because the one you provided does not exist. Most probably the problem is at your end, maybe your Internet connection, or firewall. You could also try another browser.

And please read the forum rules and do not ask one and the same question in several threads.

This one does not exist. Is it http://weloveenglish.ucoz.com/ ? Sorry, but I cannot check all domain zones (com, net, org, ru, de etc.) to find your website and be sure that it is really the website you meant (e.g. there is also _http://weloveenglish.ucoz.ru/). Therefore please be attentive when providing a link. And unfortunately I cannot be online 24/7 as an administrator.

As for the problem, I still think that the problem is at your end and suggest that you try the following: for testing purposes try to work from another copy of operating system, another computer and, if possible, using another network provider. E.g., you can check your website from one of Internet clubs as they meet all the mentioned conditions.
If you do not have such possibility, then it is desirable to do the following actions step by step:
1. Disable your firewall, antivirus while running diagnostics;
2. Disable the traffic saving services (e.g., Traffic Compressor);
3. Disable the torrent client or any other services that can create a lot of connections, if any;
4. Try to use another browser or update the current one. Maybe some necessary browser functions are disabled or are working incorrectly. If your Internet Explorer version is less than 8 – install latest Windows updates, or install Internet Explorer 8 as a separate package; if you use Opera version less than 10.60 or Firefox less than 3.6.3 – update the browser.
5. Make sure that cookies are accepted by the browser, clear the cookies history; check whether JavaScript is enabled in your browser; clear the cache (temporary files) of the browser. You can find the information on how to do this in the "Help" tab of your browser.

And btw, what's the size of the song?

Oh,sorry I meant weloveenglish.ucoz.com
I tried with Mozilla instead chrome,and it turned out to be better for uploading.I managed to upload a different song and it was successful.
I hope it will be ok from now on

I'm new in this thing so I'm spending a lot of time finding out how do these things actually work

Thanks a lot for your time and help angel

It seems to me a lot complicated ,though
Thanks again and for your patience also kiss

Admistrator, you need to do the following:
1. Enable any field not in use in the Users module settings (you can rename it in "Substitution of default phrases").
2. When editing a profile, the user will have to provide an mp3 file link.
3. Add the following script to the "User personal page" template:

Is it possible for file catalog to AUTOMATICALLY generate a music player, when someone uploads an audio? Also is there a code for file archive?

XO-Ferg, this can be custom coded with a little JavaScript - thus meaning the editing of custom templates which we don't generally provide support with here, I would advise you read up on HTML & Javascript. As to your second question I don't understand what you are meaning by file archive entirely, could you please eloborate on it. wink
