Things You'll Need

• Myspace account

Instructions

1. Choose a song to play with your photo album. If the album is comprised of photos of you and the gang at the Lady GaGa concert, you might want to play a track from her album on the page. Tracks can be purchased and downloaded from services like iTunes and Rhapsody, or for free from some artists' website.

2. Copy the source URL. Press "CTRL+C" on your keyboard or highlight the URL, right-click, then choose "Copy" from the pop-up menu. When you open a link for the song, after the page has loaded, the source URL can be found in the address bar of your web browser. The steps for downloading music vary depending on which site you are downloading from. Generally, all you need to do is click on the hyperlink for the song you wish to download.

3. Log into your MySpace account. Once you have successfully logged in, click on the "Edit Photos" link which can be found on the left-hand side of the screen under your profile picture. Under "My Albums," you will see thumbnails for each of your photo albums. Click on the thumbnail for the album you wish to add music to.

4. Type the following code into a blank document in a word processing program:

   <bgsound src="URL HERE" loop="-1">

   Paste the source URL for the song in place of the words "URL HERE". Press "CTRL+V" on your keyboard, or right-click and choose "Paste" from the menu, to paste the URL.

5. Paste the code in the "Picture Caption" box directly under any picture. You may need to first click on the picture, then click on the blue "Edit" link underneath the photo to display the "Picture Caption" box. It does not matter which photo you add the code to, as only one song can be played per album.
