hi.
Hey.
If I have a song hosted on a website and have the URL for it, is there an HTML code or something to get it to play on another website of mine?

The best way is to just link directly to the file:
<a href="direct URL">link text</a>
It is also possible to embed the file into the page. This only works if the person has quicktime installed:
<embed src="direct URL" />
If you want it to play automatically, with no input from the user, do this:
<bgsound src="direct URL" />
This only works in IE, and won't work in firefox or opera. It's also incredibly annoying, so I recommend against using it, ever.
You could also use a flash player, which works better, but I'm not going to discuss that because you usually need your own server.
The "direct URL" is a link directly to the file. It must end in:
.wav
.mp3
.wma
.mp4
.ogg
These a direct URLs (spaces are to prevent autolinking, ignore them):
http:// example.com/music.mp3
http:// thing.example.com/stuff/example.ogg
These are not:
http:// example.com/listen.html
example.com/music.mp3 (there must be http://)
http:// youtube.com/watch?v=FOq1VUPdjYk
C:documents and settingsfile.mp3
[any myspace link]
http:// example.com/listen
You can download music from non-direct link sites using this:

You can then turn files onto your computer into direct links using this:
