it depends.

first thing to know is... are you on a free hosted site or paid? free hostings has limitations on file types.

next is... are you uploading one sound file that has all your songs combined or individual seperate songs? i've not heard of a "list" to be uploaded before.

next is... what editor are you using? if wizard, which one, theme or layout?

some may ask... if you made sure you are not infringing on any copywrite with these songs? (do you have permission to post them?)

I purchased the songs when I downloaded them to my computer. I have a paid site. So, there is a part of website wizard that allows me to do this? As far as the file, I created a small playlist and named it in Windows Media. All I should have to do it add that file. I shouldn't have to add each song individually, but if I do, it's the same question. How?

purchasing a song for personal playing and being legally allowed to display/distribute it are two seperate and large differences. but then again, i am no lawyer, so i might not know what i am talking about anyways :)

the file to upload should be a .mp3, .mid or .wav or something like that. you will need to use ftp or file manager to upload the file from your computer to your online area.

after that is done, this is from one of the help threads...

Open your page in the Website Wizard and select to Edit one of your pages.

Click on the Code Editor tab in the editing box. It is right beside the Visual Editor tab.

Paste the code into the Code Editor box and Save.

the code you can try is something like this...

"have been able to get a Media Player on the page, and I have a playlist that would require only adding that list, not individual songs."

Uh... Maybe you are confused, or maybe it is my understanding of what you are trying to say that is muddled.

Where exactly is the actual music supposed to come from? You do intend to upload the mp3 files, right? Or they are already uploaded somewhere?

Cheryl are you talking about a m3u. file? If so you still have to have the mp3 files somewhere and in the m3u file you link to each song but with the embed tag you just link to the m3u. file. If you can show the plylist and code you have we can better understan to help you.

Cheryl. I looked around and found a xmas site I did.
On that site I used a m3u.file the site is http:www. kar65.com/xmas2007.html
the embed I used was embed src="http:www.kar65.com/music/christmas.m3u"width="180" height="20"
There are 3 or 4 songs on there that play in order if this is what you want let me know I can help. If you have something else I can still help just need to know what I am working with.

dot M3U
"Generally known as a Winamp Playlist file, this format has been adopted by a wide variety of MP3 players. You can also use this file for redirection on a website."

for the benefit of those who, like me, have never heard of this file extension...

kar65's page is actually found here...

looks like the sound plays on IE but not firefox.

My apologies pb&j it had been a while since I had played with that format. To work in firefox I would have to use type="audio/mpeg" for it to work. it was meant mainly for family and friends who use IE.
An alternative and better way is to use flash. Here is a site that explains both. http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/playlist.html
Hope it helps Cheryl.
