I wanted to bump this thread because I'm wondering how to get a song file onto my space... I still don't exactly get it... so any more addiontion or more in depth instructions would be great.

Quite simple,

1) Upload your song to some web host... e.g.: http://www.myhost.com/mysong.mp3
(check this site for some suggestions about where you can upload your file to... but you might consider using a small file or converting it first to a lower quality or to WMA before uploading, because it could take a long time to load it later on your blog otherwise)

2) Put your song's URL on the code bellow...
(just replace [color=purple]http://www.myhost.com/mysong.mp3 with your own link)[/color]
[CODE]<img loop=infinite dynsrc="http://www.myhost.com/mysong.mp3" width=0 height=0 border=0>[/CODE]
3) Copy that code to the clipboard
(select text and hit CTRL+C)

4) On your MSN Space, go to the "Edit Blog Entry" section
(go to "Blog -> Add entry" , or edit some existing entry)

5) Click the "Insert link" button
(the 3rd button from the right with a globe on it)

6) Paste the code there
(if the code is still on the clipboard, just press CTRL+V)

7) Click "Save"
(after that, if everything goes well, you should start earing your song by now)

8) Now a tricky part... you should see "http:// " highlighted... now delete "http://" *BUT* leave the white space just next to it!!! If you delete it, the song will stop playing!
(you can put the cursor on the beggining of the line and hit the "Delete" key untill you delete the "http://" part... the white space, in case you're wondering, is a box with no border and width=0 and height=0, containing the code to play your song ... this will make it "invisible" inside your post, and resulting on a "background music" effect)

9) Write the rest of your post normally... hit "Publish Entry", and...

10) Enjoy your new cool musical blog!!! :)


Hope this comes in handy to someone!  ;)
If you want to see how all this results in the end, just check this example space! :)

P.S.: Please keep in mind that this only works when using Internet Explorer because of some sort of ActiveX scripts stuff! If you're using another browser (FireFox, Opera, etc.), you won't be able to ear any music... :(
