Learning how to add music to your website easily takes only a few minutes and a realization that you have now come to the point where you want to make your website a bit more interesting for your viewers. It will be necessary to go through a couple of steps and consider a few options before adding music, though it isn’t very hard.

The first thing you should do, before even adding music, is to think about what adding that amount of information to a website may do to it in terms of uploading and downloading by a user. If the music files are so large that they cause a user’s computer to freeze up or slow down, the chances of them just deciding not to visit your site will probably be fairly high. Keep this in mind.

After deciding to add music, the next thing to do is take a look at what sound format will be most convenient, not only for you but also your website visitors. Even though many people today probably have high-speed Internet available to them, there are still a large number who are surfing the Internet with a 56k modem. For those you might want to consider using a plain MIDI or.mid file.

If the quality of the sound is more important and you’re not worried about possible download hangups at the other end, you might want to go with standard MP3 or.mp3 files. They’re high quality and they really don’t actually take all that much more time to download, though most people with a 56k modem will note the time that is needed. As a common format, MP3 is much more ubiquitous than MIDI.

There are normally two different ways to add music. If you have a host, then you can upload your music using a file transfer protocol or FTP client. If you do not want to aggravate or bother your viewers with music that begins as soon as they land at your website you can still create a link and embed the music that way. This will require knowing just a few lines of HTML code.

The code for such a file is very easy. Just write it out anywhere in the body of the website, using the dashboard or control panel at the site — with the following code: music.mid. The file itself will be the item that goes between the quotation marks. With such a code you’ll be able to not only provide music but also a file that is very easy to manipulate by your visitors.
