MIDI Music on your page

You can add another dimension to your pages by attaching music to them. By including music saved as a general MIDI file you are able to supply relatively long pieces of music in a small file. The example file on this page is ~32K. The same music clip recorded to a System sound file is ~1.1 Mb and the audio quality much better.

The downside with MIDI files is that the reader (or should I say listener) must have an extension installed that can handle playback of MIDI files and that you don't know exactly how it is going to sound.

Listen to the music:

<A HREF="wheels.mid">[Play Music]</A>

The wheels are spinning

How to use:

Use the topic Embedded Object : Audio in HTML Assistant to add MIDI music to your page.

The HTML tags for the example above looks like this:

<EMBED SRC="wheels.mid" WIDTH="146" HEIGHT="16" 
AUTOSTART=True LOOP=True CONTROLLER=True CONTROLS=SMALLCONSOLE><NOEMBED><A HREF="wheels.mid">[Play Music]</A></NOEMBED>

Note that the attribute CONTROLS=SMALLCONSOLE is required to make the LiveAudio plug-in (distributed with Navigator 3) display a visible control.

Also note that some beta versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer doesn't seem to work with midi audio files like the one provided with this example.
