XPRTNovice Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm trying to figure out the best way to put a player of my music stuff on my website that doesn't require me to buy anything. Soundcloud's option is OK, but it puts a different box on the website per song, from what I'm seeing, and my Wordpress site doesn't accept HTML5. I haven't done web design in a reaaaaally long time so I'm looking for some help on this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Did you look at Tindeck? That and Bandcamp are about the best solutions I've come up with for those needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think you can embed a playlist using Soundcloud as well, and that should alleviate the problem of multiple boxes. Bandcamp is great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPRTNovice Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 I must be stupid. I can't figure out how to do Soundcloud's embedding; when it gives me the code specifically for wordpress, it only embeds that one song. I think the HTML5 code embeds a whole player, but wordpress doesn't like HTML5. I'll have to explore tindeck/bandcamp.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Did you install the SoundCloud plugin for WordPress? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/soundcloud-shortcode/ As far as I can tell, WordPress supports HTML5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 You can definitely do Soundcloud, try the flash version. Go to a 'set' (that's a playlist of multiple songs) and then 'share'. eg. www.impactsoundworks.com (any product here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I like Soundcloud's implementation the best. At some point in the near future, we WILL be allowing soundcloud, youtube, and hopefully tindeck embeds back on the forums. It's a 2013 resolution I intend to fulfill in Q1, or you can punch me.
