Using iWeb to Share mp3 Files

I would like to set up a page on a website made with iWeb to which I can post mp3 files of personal recordings of rehearsals I make with my barbershop quartet. I record the rehearsals using a Sony Minidisc recorder. With Garage Band I create a music project with a "Real Instrument" track and record the rehearsal/song into Garage Band. I then send the project to iTunes, and then convert the file into an mp3 file. I've posted these files to my iWeb-created website and published the site. They show up there as Quicktime files though. Although they can be played, they can't be downloaded by my pc friends so that they can burn them to CD's like other mp3 files, for their own reherasal use. Is there a way I can post these mp3 files so that others can download them?
Thanks..

Instead of dragging and dropping the .mp3 files to your iWeb page (and making them into QT movies), you could just make links on your page either graphics or text and the use the Inspector hyperlink tab to attach the .mp3 files for download.

Using WMP10 to shrink MP3 files for Nano P

I have a new Nano Plus and have decided to copy some music to it shrinking the MP3 and WMA files down to 64KBS WMA to save some space. I have used both Zen Nano Explorer and WMP0 to do this. I noticed something with the WMP0 files--some of them are horribly distorted. I am not a picky listener, but these are so bad I deleted all of them. I re-did them using the shrink function built in to Nano Plus Explorer and the resulting files sound fine. The ones I noticed in WMP0 that were REALLY bad started out as high bitrate VBR MP3 files. I suspect this has something to do with it. THe Creative Software, however, was just as fast and did a MUCH better job. The downside of the Creative software, in this case, is it shrinks a file, puts it on the Nano, then if you lose that file on the Nano for some reason you have to shrink another (taking much longer on the file transfer). WMP0 keeps a copy of your shrunken file for re-use. I upgraded my firmware already on the Nano and it erased everything---this is how I found out I had to re-do the whole thing. Since then, I made a backup folder for the whole Nano and put it on my computer. I am not sure about changing the battery and what might happen (thinking this is flash memory, so it should be fine).
Anyhow, just passing this along as my first really bad experience using WMP0. WMP0 did a fine job of anything that was a high-bitrate WMA file, it was just the MP3 it choked on.

Using iWeb to Share Videos among a group.

I have a website that I created for a group using iWeb '09 that is hosted by mobileme.
Part of the site features quicktime movies I have uploaded to the site to share with the group, and I would like to enable other group members to post qt videos on the site as well. What's the easiest way to do this?
Is there another way besides having people send the videos to me and having me put them up via iWeb?
I'd like to be able for people to post some text along with each video, from their own location not my host computer. Is there a way for people to add videos to one of my webpages?

Bruce:
You could create a MobileMe gallery in iPhoto, permit visitors to add to it and then embed the MMe gallery in your web page like this: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
If you have more than one MobileMe gallery and don't want visitors to have access to all of them just set the movie gallery's Settings as shown in this screenshot:

Using different computer's mp3 files?

I use a Macbook for live musical performances, which has a completely different iTunes library than does my home computer (iMac). The gig computer is running OSX 10.4 (Tiger). My iPad is synched to my home computer,'
What I want to have happen is that the iPad iTunes library duplicates that in my live performance computer. I know that the OS is not compatible, but assuming I had the mp3 library on disc, is there a way to get those files into iTunes on the iPad?
Thanks

Put the files into the

Why can i only share mp3 files, not m4a or m4b

hi all. using 10.4.5 and now itunes 6.0.3
i use the griffin radioshark to record a radio program. it allows me to make bookmarkable aac files (.m4b) which i love. the audio quality is great and i don't lose my place over the 5 hour recording time.
but i've noticed that the playlist of these radio programs that i have set to share in itunes are not playable. they appear, but stay stuck at 0:00 when you click "play." i've also noticed that they are listed as "protected aac format" and feature the lock badge on each file's icon.
obviously these are not fairplay encoded tracks (like those purchased from the itunes music store).
any ideas?
they play locally on any machine to which they're copied.

Using Iweb w/ out quciktime?

hey every11 question.. can i use iweb w/ using quictime just something normal that everyone can view my mp3.. cuz some ppl dont have quicktime installed on there WINDOWS and wnt be able to hear the musc on the site. i tried adding a HTML CODE to .js file and uploaded the music file but no luck. and i can't eidt the .html it shows me the site.. EVEN in textedit. please help me knw thx!

doesn't work.
i tried the playtagger anf this "<embed
src="yourwavname.wav" autostart="true"
hidden="true">" added to the .html file it didnt
work!
Huh? It's for mp3's, not wav files, for one thing.
1. Use iWeb to "link to file" and create a text link to your mp3 file.
2. Publish.
3. Insert the playtagger code ANYWHERE between <body> and </body>

Blackbery Link - browse pc folders and copy mp3 files not in music folder

Hello to all of you
I have music archives in different drives and pendrives
It is not intuhitive at all how to browse local PC drives and or PC folders to select and copy single or many .mp3 files from the PC to the BlackBerry device.
Please don't tell me that the silly solution is to move the mp3 files to the windows music folder.
Additionally, i find really against an user friendly approach the BlackBerry Link in the music section. It doesn't allow to show the mp3 files names and use, manage and browse .mp3 files by their name, I see only
- All the music
- Album
- Artists
- Genres
- Playlists
well,
- I have so many .mp3 files
- they don't have all the mp3 tags
- I see only an unfinished list which doesn't allow me to select the file I need, and I must scroll all of them every time
A TOTAL NO SENSE in my personal opinion
Anyway , from BalckBerry Link and from PC side, how to select one single mp3 file, QUICKLY, and copy it inside the BlackBerry device in the music folder?
Thank you
C0r

Yes CRAZY!!! It is confirmed,
trying to find a solution to this crazy behavior, I've turned to documents side.
I've added my mysic folder to the documents and TA-DAAAH! The .mp3 files don't show!!!
On the right panel a big string says "The folder doesn't contain supported files"!!!
Well, looks like that BlackBerry Link leaks like the OS 10
Anyway, if you can provide a solution that allows to copy mp3 files ID3-less (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3), mean that none of the ID3 has been filled, thank you so much in advance.
To BB Link developers, think about allow users to tranfer files as files and not as you arbitrary want, thank you.

Can use iweb and publish sites without a mobileme account?

I have a old imac and it died and I lost all of my websites and Im afraid that I cant republish the websites without a mobile me account… anyone know what I can do ?

When you 'lost your websites' do you mean you lost the 'Domain' file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? iWeb keeps all its information there and if you do not have it you will have to recreate your site from scratch. If this is the case I would most strongly advise not using iWeb - it's not been sold or supported for some time now, and indeed v2 ('08) does not work with Mavericks: v3 may stop working on a future update. There are many other programs for making websites - Everweb is popular and is designed to be very like iWeb, with more facilities.
If you do have the Domain file then you can publish to any website hosting service as outlined by Old Toad. There is a more detailed description of the process for the two different versions here:
http://wilmut.uk/missing2
However if you are going to use iWeb remember that as I said a future system upgrade may very well break it; and you would find it very difficult to update the site by editing the published pages in the absence of being able to use iWeb and the Domain file.

External MP3 files not working

Hi,
I have attached code straight out of the help file for using
External MP3 files. It works perfect when I use their HelpExample
sound MP3 file. However when I simply change the code to point to a
working MP3 sound file in my LocalHost folder it executes but I
only get a Blip sound.
If I just double click on the sound file it sounds ok. and I
have been successful in using these MP3 files embedded in Flash 8.0
fla file
Do the external MP3 files have to be on some special server?
I am using this code with Flash 8.0
Thanks,
hugh

The most likely reason for this failure is that since your SWF is now embedded into another SWF (the Captivate project) the paths to the AS files need to be altered in Flash to allow for this.
You need to investigate how this would be done in AS code if your Flash SWF was a symbol inside another Flash SWF.

Blojsom server doesn't recognize .mp3 files posted from an XP machine.

Strange things happening recently: When I log into the 10.4 server (using it for podcasts only, not blogs) it no longer recognizes .mp3 files when I post from my XP SP2 machine using either IE7 or Firefox. (It used to work just fine about a month ago.)
Using the same exact mp3 file(s) I am able to post them from a Mac or Vista machine.
Any ideas? This is just strange...

Hi blindfred, to stop Firefox from playing MPEG-encoded media in a page or in a stand-alone tab on Windows Vista/7/8, you need to change the following preferences:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste media. and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to switch its value from true to false. (This is the standard method for Windows Vista/7/8)
(4) Double-click media.directshow.enabled to switch its value from true to false. (This is an additional method available on Windows XP/Vista/7/8)

Uploading .mp3 files vs. uploading .band files for Podcast on iWeb

I teach high school and have my students creating audio files for podcast on my iWeb site. Most of the students give me their files in .band format, but some give them to me in .mp3 format.
1) Can I upload the .mp3 file for podcasting to iWeb without turning it into a .band file (which I have been doing).
2) When I drag the .mp3 file into the GarageBand program and then upload it to iWeb, the autopage looks different (no date, no place to write a little blurb, etc.) Is there any way to get them to look the same when using the Share>send to iWeb feature.
3) I also receive frequent corrupted files (8-bit not supported with an abort button). I have never personally receive this message on files that I have created, but I can't figure out what my students are doing incorrectly--anyone know?
Thanks for any possible help.

I am putting a link to what I am talking about--maybe that would help?

Can I use icloud to share itunes audio files with others

Can I use i-cloud as a medium to share audio recordings stored in itunes, to share those recordings with others.
How does that work if it's possible, is there a unique link provided to the one I am sharing the file with?
Can I connect this link than to my webpage so people may download a recording as an mp3 file from the website?
I am currently using dropbox, but want to switch to i-cloud if this service is provided

Thank you
Its not to share songs, it is to share teachings I am giving to students and that are recorded, to provide them with a link after class so they can listen or for those on a distance who cannot attend in person.
Any suggestion as to what is the best option to sharing audio recordings through another medium?I have tried gotomeeting but the conversion of the audio did not work for mac. Looked into livestream but their fees are very high if you wish to protect your offering with a password ( which i have to do, as the students pay for it)
My best guess is video myself including audio and downloading that into my computer and onto youtube?

Trouble with mp3 files on iWeb '08

Hi, I'm new to iWeb, I'm trying to add several mp3 files (each no longer than 2 minutes) on several different pages using the drag and drop method from the media browser. I have no problem adding one or two to a page, but if I try to add more, I run into a problem. When I view the published page and try to press play on the iWeb quicktime player for the last mp3 added to the bottom of the page, nothing happens (the other mp3s on the page work fine). When I delete the file from the page and try to add it again, the published site now shows a little question mark with a circle around it. If I try and move it to a different part of the page and then view the published site, the question mark will still appear in the same place as it was before I moved the player. I've checked the mp3 files and they work just fine if they're on their own page. Am I having this problem because there's a limit to the amount you can add per page, or is it something else?
Thanks for the help...

See my tutorial Toad's TutorialsManaging an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox. It's all automatic once you have Dropbox installed on both computers. The only caveat is you can be working on the site from both computers at the same time.

How can I use iWeb to create website that contains a lot of downloadable audio files?

Hi
How to use iWeb to create a website that contains a downloadable audio files. I'm uloading about 15 GB of audio files. I need to creat folders "albums" and then put the files in these folders. Any advise?
Thank you very much for your time to this
W B

The important thing is not to put the audio files directly into iWeb: if you do that then every time iWeb decides it needs to upload the entire site you will find yourself uploading all 15GB of audio files, which won't make you happy. Start by uploading the files to the server - in folders as suits you - and then link to them in iWeb.
If you want them to download rather than play, you may be able to set up an .'htaccess' file in the folder which will force a download - it depends on whether your hosting service will allow this. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/download.html
Here is an example of a simple link which produces a download (without the process described the audio file would play in the browser in a blank page):
http://rfwilmut.net/stars/dawson2.mp3
Then all you need to do is to provide a link, designed however suits you, in your iWeb page. If your server won't allow the .htaccess file then you will have to ask visitors to control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the link and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent - not so convenient; or otherwise zip the files first, which won't much reduce their size but will force a download (and of course the recipients will have to unzip them).
If you want the files to play in a player in the page, you can use an html snippet to provide a player as described in this page (you will also need to upload a script to the webspace - this is provided in the page):
