How to Hide an Embedded Music Player

You can hide an embeddable music player by modifying certain parts of its code.

Adding music to your website is as easy as copying and pasting a code for an embeddable music player in your Web page. Sites such as Soundcloud and MixPod offer embeddable flash players that you can share and use to spruce up your social-networking profile or your personal page. However, the player size and design may sometimes clash with the overall layout and theme of your site, which might necessitate hiding your music player. Luckily, by just modifying certain parts of its code, you can keep your embedded music player out of sight.

Things You'll Need

• HTML editor

Instructions

1. Open the Web page containing the embeddable music player using an HTML editor. You can use Dreamweaver, CoffeeCup, MS Frontpage or any available HTML editor.

2. Locate the code of your embeddable music player. Embeddable music players usually begin with the <embed> tag or <object> tag.

3. Modify the embedded music player code. Replace the values for height and width to zero. For example: height="0" width="0."

4. Test your Web page. Save the page and view it on a browser to confirm that you no longer see the embedded music player.

Tips & Warnings

• Although music on your website can liven it up, some visitors may find it annoying to not have the option to turn down or turn off music on the page. In this case, you may wish to offer a version of your site without the music---or make the music player small enough to be unobtrusive in your site's layout---yet have a feature to let visitors turn off or turn down the music.
