How to Put a Song on a Web Page
As you build your web pages, consider adding a song to your site to provide an entertaining element for your visitors. Post your favorite music, enhance your content and add variety by making this multimedia element part of your display. Although several HyperText Markup Language (HTML) codes accomplish this task, you have the option to use the link method, which uses a minimum amount of codes. Use your music file and an online resource to put a song on your web page.
