Using the Yahoo Media Player

Using the Yahoo Media Player is a different approach. You simply let Yahoo do the job of playing your songs.

Example

<a href="song.mp3">Play Song</a>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js"></script>

Using the Yahoo player is free. To use it you insert this piece of JavaScript at the bottom of your web page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js"></script>

Then you simply link to your MP3 files in your HTML, and the JavaScript code automatically creates a play button for each song:

<a href="song1.mp3">Play Song 1</a>
<a href="song2.mp3">Play Song 2</a>
...
...
...
The Yahoo Media Player presents your readers with a small play button instead of a full player. However, when you click the button, a full player pops up.

Note that the player is always docked and ready at the bottom the window. Just click on it to slide it out.

Using Google

Example

<a href="song.mp3">Play Song</a>

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=song.mp3" height="27" width="320"></embed>

Using A Hyperlink

If a web page includes a hyperlink to a media file, most browsers will use a "helper application" to play the file.
The following code fragment displays a link to an MP3 file. If a user clicks on the link, the browser will launch a helper application to play the file:

Example

<a href="song.mp3">Play the song</a>




Inline Sound

When sound is included in a web page, or as part of a web page, it is called inline sound.
If you plan to use inline sounds in your web applications, be aware that many people find inline sound annoying. Also note that some users might have turned off the inline sound option in their browser.
Our best advice is to include inline sound only in web pages where the user expects to hear the sound. An example of this is a page which opens after the user has clicked on a link to hear a recording.

GK MCQs and facts

KNOWLEDGE Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include information, facts, descriptions, and/or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); and it can be more or less formal or systematic.In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed upon definition of knowledge, and there are numerous theories to explain it.  Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings. source : wiki Knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A series of MCQs on GK  ...

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...
