How do I add music file to listen to on my site?

[thecharm]

I want to add music files to my site so people can listen and download them.

What code or what do I need to do to be able to do this?

Please, HELP!

Thanx

well if you want people to be able to download them, just put the link to the file.
if your site is called THECHARM.COM, then just put a link:
<a href="http://www.thecharm.com/MUSICFILE.wav">MUSIC FILE</a>

this makes music play when the page loads up (put it in the head)
<bgsound src="MUSICFILE.wav" loop=3>

to embed the music within the page, and have a little pause/play button etc actually embeded within the page put this code;
<EMBED src="http://www.thecharm.com/MUSICFILE.wav" width="144" height="60"
autostart="false" loop="false" hidden="false">

are any of these things what you mean?

But we have said this in many other threads, music is not usually a good idea. It kills bandwidth, load times, generally sounds bad, interfears with winamp (Some of us surf with winamp on... believe it or not) and it is just a mark of an amateur designer and people tend to take sites with music on them a little bit less seriously.
