3)
File Path
Values indicated in red above code should be changed to the URL you save in step 1.
4)
Other settings
All values indicated in
blue in
the above code can be changed if needed. Autostart settings determine if
the music starts playing automatically or not. If you want it
not
to start automatically, and you would rather have the site visitor
press the play button to start/stop the music/audio, then change both
those values to
false and
0,
respectively. BOTH values must be changed, to ensure that the music
plays the same way in all major browsers. Volume settings are just
that... sets the volume level. A value of
-300
is about mid-range. You can change that too if you like. BOTH values
must be changed to be the same values, to ensure that the volume level
is the same in all major browsers.
