is there a simple guide on how to use Windows Media Player to play MP3 files on a Web site

I'm designing a simple website to a friend. They are singers and want 3 or 4 songs sample of people to listen to on the site.

What is the easiest way to do this (I m not technical, it should be easy to understand)

Idea is that the user accesses the page and chooss a song they click and hear 30-45 seconds of a recorded sample (MP3 file)

Strive to do that. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find a simple way to do it.

Can it be done using Windows media player (records are MP3 files in the Player Windows Media.

Help appreciated

If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site.  If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

    Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?

    You can get on a conversion of 70% in reading a file in Windows Media Player using something like Dragon Naturally Speaking to convert. If you set the playback speed to slow in Windows Media Player to play > play speed, you will get a better result. The best option is to download the file to an audio transcription service, but which generally costs 0, 50-1, 00 per minute of audio.

    How to make windows media player to read rar files

    Windows Media Player cannot play RAR files.

    RAR files are not video/audio files, they are compressed files. If there is video/audio files in the RAR file, you must first open and extract from RAR file.

    You can use 7 - Zip to create/open/unpack RAR files and other compressed files.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer. How can I correct this situation?

    It recently advised me to switch to Firefox.

    Hello

    Please find the supprotURL:

    Windows 7 and WMP 12 don't play many types of files in the box, you need additional configuration. :(

    Attention if you got this message to a folder ".wmv", which should impose no extra codec (coder-decoder), this type of codec will probably install viruses on your computer. You can see the file extension in Windows Explorer or in the name of the file if you have configured via the "Tools |" Folder options | View menu"to do so, or in the Details view, the 'Type' column should display something like"File WMV", or in this case,"the Windows Media audio/video file.

    If it's a real file, for example a Flash (".flv"), ".mkv" file or a DVD Blu - Ray, you have to play on a third party such as VLC Player, or download the appropriate codec. There are a bunch of them packed in a secure facility on shark007 (dot) net and the Blu - Ray, probably your computer comes with a DVD playing software that should do the trick, although the codec that comes with it is not compatible with WMP.

  • How to use Windows media player with the windows Task Scheduler (7)?

    Original title: why it is so difficult... question of windows media player 12

    You want to use Windows media player with windows (7) Task Scheduler.   We have a pc, everything that appears on the screen is also pumped to our community cable channel, normally a slideshow in loop is the show, however, sometimes via a scheduler interrupt the slideshow to play a video (say a video of our last Board of Directors meeting) and to make videos, ideally the slideshow returns.

    Using Microsoft software, in this case, Windows Media Player v12.0.7601.18150, Task Scheduler 1.0, two things must happen.

    1 Task Scheduler launch a video in fullscreen / top of window.

    2. when the video is finished, wmp is closed.

    Well, 1 works fine.  The Task Manager launching wmp in full screen.  And a framework of wmp switches to allow a session of wmp be on top.

    However, a short time after launch wmp cut the screen down to a smaller version.

    And 2. closure of WMP fails to occur.  He remains on the screen waiting for human input.

    Any input appreciated.

    Charlie

    For "cuts WMP down to a smaller version", right click on the video game (during playback) and deselect ' auto Player size to contain video.

    For number 2, define your point of Task Scheduler task for the "end of task after X minutes" and therefore the value of X.  Then it will kill the instance of running Media Player after a large number of minutes.  So, it will absolutely immediately when the video is done playing, but it will be within 60 seconds and will be at least to remove WMP and let your slideshow be visible again.

  • I can copy music to a CD - R or must there be a CD - RW using Windows Media Player?

    Can I copy music from a file on my computer to a CD - R or must there be a CD - RW? I use Windows Media Player. I've done it before, but it has been so long I don't remember if I used Windows Media Player or Roxio CD software that I used to have. I want to be able to use the CD in my car. I copied a CD purchased in-store music to my computer and now I want to make a copy.

    Thank you

    CD - R is very good.  The only difference between the two is that the written warning is much slower to write, but can be reused on a limited number of times.

  • How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

    How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

    Hello

    If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Step 1:

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Step 2:

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Note: Before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    If this is not enough and you want to remove duplicate files there are third-party application to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks twice in Windows.

    WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
