Hi

I am new to this particular site, this the first time I have tryed to do the forum communique for my web design..
:-|
My main focus is a website for my friend and I to have our Dj mix sets on.
We have an account through www.godaddy.com w/ a database through MySQL. Which Is really confusing me..
:rolleyes:
I made the current page in Micrsoft Publisher and can't insert audio.
I ahve been able to do this w/ Powerpoint but, I dont' want to it this way..
I have also try to <embed src=... But I get a small Quicktime Symbol and when I click what is supposed to be a small player I get an error..
:(
I have Dreamweaver and I'm lil new w/ it and I'm not sure how to use it.
:cry:
Should I redo the current page in Dreamweaver, and will Dreamweavr let me insert audio into my projects?

I have a million questions, I've looked and still I am having the hardest time.

For a playlist-style player (the goal described), a modern, reliable route is to use the HTML5 audio element plus a tiny bit of JavaScript or a lightweight player library for UI/controls. As noted, Dreamweaver can help place the player visually, but editing the HTML directly or using a ready library gives better control over playlists, seeking, and cross-browser behavior.

Practical workflow:

  • Encode mixes to a web-friendly format (MP3 or AAC, 128–192 kbps CBR is common).
  • Upload files by FTP and confirm each file URL opens directly in a browser (returns HTTP 200).
  • Ensure the server sends correct MIME types and supports byte-range requests so seeking works.
  • For a static playlist, point a small JS array at those URLs. For a dynamic playlist, store metadata in MySQL and expose a JSON endpoint that the front-end fetches.

Minimal example (static playlist handling):

<audio id="player" controls></audio>

<script>
const tracks = [
  'mix1.mp3',
  'mix2.mp3'
];
let i = 0;
const p = document.getElementById('player');
p.src = tracks[i];
p.addEventListener('ended', ()=> p.src = tracks[++i % tracks.length] );
</script>

Troubleshooting notes: if playback fails, check the browser console and network tab (status, MIME, CORS). Older <embed> or plugin-based approaches are fragile today; libraries such as MediaElement.js provide a consistent UI and fallbacks across browsers (MediaElement.js). For dynamic sites, serve playlists as JSON from the server and let the JS player consume them.

Hi Nico,
How do you want your audio to play? do you want it just as a background music or do you want a MP3 player on the page that plays a playlist like on this site www.the-return.co.uk click onto the MP3 button.

I looked at your link and well :-) I'm not going to say a thing.
It looks like you do need some help, let me know about the music first then we'll have a chat about the rest of the site :-) and the answer to your other question yes use Dreamweaver.
