How To Add Music to Your E-Mail
July 16, 2003
At this time there is more activity on the internet about
copyright infringement of all music files being used in e-mail
and on websites. Even though the music is very pleasant and
enriching, I would think twice before using any music file on
anything that you have not personally authored.

Adding music to your email page is very
easy. The following codes for placing music
on your email can be used any where in
your Signature box in between your opening
(html) and your closing (/html). Here is a
tip I have found helpful. I always put my
music code the last thing before closing the
(/html). This way when you decide to change
your music it is easy to get to, not buried
amoung your image codes.
Note: I have replaced the >< tags with ( )
for demonstration. So you will have to
change the ( ) to >< when you use these
codes for your email page.
1. (bgsound src="addy of song")
This will play your song one time. And will
play as soon as it loads when people are
reading your email.
2. (bgsound src="addy of song"loop="infinite")
This code will play the song over and over
again while the email is being viewed.
Note: Music tends to take awhile to load.
So it will take longer for someone to load
and read your email to them.
To help this you might want to add a
clickable speaker to your mail with the song
attached. The reader then can click the
speaker to hear your music and the loading
time of your mail is much quicker. To do
this use the following codes.
1. (embed src="addy of song")
Again this will play your song once.
2. (embed src="addy of song"
autostart="true" loop="true")
This will play your song over and over.
