How do you choose what program it plays with? I have various file types (.m4a, .mp3 etc) and I want them all to play in quicktime because I have the player size formatted to it. ( http://www.myspace.com/kowzorz or http://www.freewebs.com/skottykow/music.html if you want to see. I have just the play button showing.) So what's the command if there is one to choose what plugin to use?

I think each browser either autoselects it's player or it's managed trough an options menu, but each file type can be opened by certain players with certain codecs, you can't for example open wmv or wma files with quicktime(As far as i know)...

Here's how to embed an MP3 File:

<EMBED src="file.mp3" autostart=true hidden=true>

Also see:

Audio for html >> http://www.world-voices.com/resources/addaud.html

Good luck!

Yes, I doubt you can control what tool opens it. It's either default or person-chosen tool.

What's the 'hidden=true' do specifically? I've never noticed a difference between that and without it. ( I do know how to embed, the non-myspace page had broken sources because the host changed the url I was using)

hidden="true" makes it so that there's no menu there and the users can't change the setting of the music.

I have a question, how do you get <embed> to display pictures created from a php file correctly in IE ,on myspace, then just a text box? I can only get it to work in FireFox. Or do I just have to resort to use a Flash file instead?

Pictures from php files? i just use <img> tags and it works alright.

Yah, I feel quite sure that <img> tags can also display images created by PHP. Never experimented much with that, though.

The Myspace coldfusion code removes that line with the
<img src="http://www.yoshiklan.com/comments/num_img.php">

You can try it yourself and see if it works on myspace.

The only way that works for me is with <embed> on myspace. <img> works but not for myspace.
