  HotMedia: Adding MIDI Files on Your Web Site

EMBEDDED
MIDI
FILE
 

<A HREF="http://www4.heidsite.com/bach2.mid">Download</A> the MIDI file.

The file above is embedded using the following HTML:

<embed src="http://www4.heidsite.com/brahms.mid" width=144 height=60 controls=console autostart=true>
<noembed>
<a href="http://www4.heidsite.com/brahms.mid">Download</a> the MIDI file.
</noembed>

 The <embed> and </noembed> tag pair enables visitors whose browsers don't support plug-ins to download the file.

(The piece, by the way, is Brahms' exquisite Rhapsody in G, Opus 79, No. 2. If you're listening to it with QuickTime's cheesy synthesizer, you're missing out.)

The file above is a QuickTime music movie. It's embedded with the following HTML:

<EMBED SRC="http://www4.heidsite.com/bachmidi.mov" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=32>

To convert a MIDI file to a QuickTime music movie, you can use Apple's Movie Player with authoring extensions. Download it from http://www.quicktimefaq.org/.
