Playing MP3's through links

[Angelus]

I've created a page with all the songs from the Final Fantasy games and I would like to turn them into direct links for playing those files. Does anyone know what the code is for directly playing them. If I make a regular link, it always asks me if I want to open it or save it to disk.

If I left some important information out, feel free to ask.

Thanx

I think you need to run a shoutcast server on that site so that Winamp can receive a live stream.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I need.

The page is just for personal use, to make it easier for me to play the songs. So the html-file will be kept on my E-drive and the songs are on my I-drive (CDROM).

Sounds like what you want to do you'll want to use the OBJECT tag.
Normally I would give you an example of how this is used but OBJECT is a pretty robust tag. So take a look at this tutorial and it should help you.

Check that out and let me know if that's what you are looking for.

You know what....try this (I can't STAND not giving an example! http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif )

This isn't the OBJECT tag but it still might work....

When it asks you to Save or Play, is there a check box saying to use a default action? You may be able to check the box and then press play, and in the future it should play the file rather than prompting.

I think.

Klashe,
thanx but if you use that example you gave me, it shows a Media Player 'thing'. wouldn't mind that if it was just one or two files, but the page has a couple of hundred links. I'm still looking at that OBJECT tah tho.


Turp182,
thanx too. Yes, I get that message and that will work. It's just that I was interested in the HTML tag for doing it.
