How to Add Music to Your MSN Space

The MSN spaces website is part of the Microsoft network and allows users to create their own personalized social media site to show off their interests and share information with other users. By creating your own MSN space, you can add personal work such as photos, artwork and even music. By installing the Media Player PowerToy application, you can link to a music file hosted on the Internet for other users to listen to while visiting your page.

Instructions

1. Go to your favorite audio or video hosting website and upload your music. The MSN audio player will only play original content that is authorized by the user to be played on third-party sites. When the file is uploaded, copy the URL link for the file, as you will need it later.

2. Login to your MSN space. When you are logged in, click on the "Edit Profile" link on the main page to enter the editing screen. On this screen, click on the address bar at the top of the window and add "&powertoy=musicvideo" to the end of the address that is already in the bar and press "Enter."

3. When the page has finished loading, click the "Customize" link. Click on the "Modules" link on the next page to see a list of available applications you can add to your MSN space. Click on the "Add" button that will appear next to the "Power Toy: Windows Media Player" option to add this application to your space. Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the window.

4. Click on the address bar that appears on the Windows Media Player application on the main page of your MSN space. Enter in the URL that links to your audio file. Click on the "Save" button on the application. Pressing the play button will play the track, and any visitor will be able to see the application with your audio loaded.
