Where can you get MP3's to upload to the network? First you need to find the songs and download them to your computer. Lime Wire is a very good program to use, you can download it at
www.limewire.com. It will take you just a few minutes to download the program. Once you have that installed you can search for your favorite artists or songs. Just type the name of the artist or the song you are looking for into the search box. Once you see the song you want to download click on it to highlight it then click the "Download" button at the bottom of the page.
After your songs download you will see them listed in the downloads box at the bottom of the page. Right click on the song and select "
Launch" to play it.
If you want to upload it to the network you will need to know where the song has been saved to on your computer. To find that information, right click again and select "
Explore". It will open in an explorer window, in the address field you should see the path to the folder where the song has been saved. In my case it looks like this: "C:\Documents and Settings\Jen\Shared". As long as you didn't change the location when you downloaded the program yours should save to the same location.
**Using a program like Lime Wire comes with some risks, read this documentation before you decide whether or not to use it.
http://www.limewire.com/help/ftc4.php. Based on more research it does seem a bit risky but many feel that as long as you are ONLY downloading songs and you have a good virus program you should be fine. I will look into some other options as well.
Now you can upload them to the network
There are a few ways to add music to your page.
First, you can add songs from your computer. Just click on the "Add Music" link at the bottom of your player, which will take you to a page where you can upload songs in the mp3 format. Music files for upload should not exceed 20 MB in size.
Second, if you hear a song you like, either on the main page or another member's personal page, just click the "Add to My Page" link, which shows at the top of the music player. That song will be automatically added to your page.
Finally, if you find a podcast or playlist you like somewhere on the Internet, you can copy the URL / location, click the 'Edit' button at the top of your player, and paste the URL into the 'Podcast' section.
How do I change the order of my songs?
Click the 'Edit Playlist' button at the bottom of your player, which will take you to a page where you can rearrange your songs. Click 'Save' and you'll be returned to your page where your songs will now appear in the new order.
How many songs can I have in my player?
You can have up to 100 tracks in your player.
Can I show my player on my profile page or personal blog on another site?
Usually, yes! If the other site allows embedding, you can click on the 'View embed code' link at the bottom of player, copy the code that is shown, and paste it on the external site.
Can I have my player automatically start for other people viewing My Page?
Yes. Click 'Edit' at the top of the player and check the "Autoplay" checkbox.
