How to Embed a Song in Email
Email is a quick and convenient way to share songs with friends and family. However, sending song files as attachments can use up a lot of bandwidth. Using HTML commands, you can embed songs into your email, which the recipient can then play at the other end. You can embed most types of music files, but you need to make sure the file is in a format the recipient can play on his machine.

Open a new blank email and make sure the window is compatible with HTML. If your email provider uses windows that support rich text by default, you might have to find the setting that will change the email form back to plain text and allow you to insert HTML commands.

Paste the following code into the email after the <BODY> tag:
<EMBED SRC="songtitle.mid" AUTOSTART=FALSE LOOP=FALSE WIDTH=145 HEIGHT=55 ALIGN="CENTER">
</EMBED> -

3
Replace "songtitle.mid" with the URL where your MIDI song is stored.
-
4
Change the values after "WIDTH" and "HEIGHT" to alter the size of the embedded image or box that contains the link to the song you are sending.
-
5
Alter the "AUTOSTART" and "LOOP" values depending on whether you want the song to start automatically when the recipient opens the email, and whether you want it to stop at the end or play on a continuous loop. Entering "FALSE" after each feature prevents these things from happen, while "TRUE" enables them to happen.
