How to Add Music to Your MySpace Pics

Adding music to your Myspace page is easy.

Adding music to your MySpace page is easy and only requires a few simple steps. Before you begin, keep in mind that you cannot legally play any music that is copyrighted by a third party without their permission. Before adding music to your MySpace page be sure to get permission from the copyright holder or alternatively use royalty free music (see Resources).

Instructions

Add Music to Myspace Photos

1. Determine what song you would like to play in your photo album and upload it to the Internet. Comply with all copyright laws. Appropriate formats include MP3, MIDI, WMV and WAV.

2. Determine the URL for your song and test it by pasting it in your web browser. The song will either play or you will be prompted for a download.

3. Take the URL pertaining to your song and shorten it by using the Tiny Url service (see Resources). Shortening the URL is necessary as a long URL will not fit in the MySpace photo caption where you need to place it.

4. Create a photo album on MySpace. In the photo caption space where you would normally write a caption, paste the following code: <bgsound src="URL HERE" loop="-1">

5. In the above code you pasted into your photo caption, place the shortened URL of your song in the place of the words, "URL HERE."

Tips & Warnings

• If your URL is too long it will not work. Make sure to shorten your URL.

• You can use the code <embed src="url_of_song" autostart="true" loop="true" width="280" height="45"></embed> in order to post music to your main MySpace page, but this code will not work in the photos section as there is not enough room in the caption.
