Ok if you are an advanced member you can load songs into the mp3 player and here is how you do it.
1, First thing you need is the mp3 hosted somewhere......exactly the same as hosting pictures except the chances are someone has already hosted it!
Go to www.minorcrisis.net which is an mp3 hosting site (first one i found in google you can also look for others but this one seems pretty good......) type in the search box the song you are looking for. If they have it great! Click on the song. It will give you some information on the track and towards the bottom it will give you 3 fields with some code in them. Copy the code in the "direct download" field. This is what you need for our mp3 player. Once you have this code it is very straight forward.
2, Click the mp3 player link on the board and bring up the player. At the bottom of the page click on the link that says "Add your MP3's".
3, This will take you to the loading page. Note it may look complicated initially but it really isn't. It looke complicated because the same 4 fields are there 3 times. This is so you can upload 3 tracks at once. If you are loading 1 track ignore everything but the first four fields.
Field 1 - "MP3 Title"; simply fill out what you want to be displayed in the mp3 player
Field 2 - "MP3 URL" ; Paste the code that was in the "direct download" field as per above from the minorcrises.net website. Include everything that is in the field.
Field 3 - "Stream mp3" ; Leave as yes
Field 4 - "Sound Buffer" ; Leave as is. Unless there is a problem with it playing it or a slow server response then there is no need to change this setting.
4, Select which playlist you want to import into.....if you want to add a load of your own in ne of the playlists then go for it.....everything else seems to be in playlist 1.
5, Click upload and thats it your mp3 will be loaded in the playlist you selected and ready to play!
a couple of quick points.........
1, Please note the files from minor crises need to be mp3's. Winnie tried to load one earlier and it wasn't an mp3 so just check that has the file extension at the end of the file name as something.mp3,
2, If you cannot find the song you want but have it then register with them and upload your fave songs and then do steps 2 onwards using the url for the uploaded song.
finally if you have any problems or if anything is unclear then either post here or send me a pm!
