Embedding more than one midi file

liunx · Jan 10, 2008

Is it possible to have more than one embedded midi on a page and have them run infinate loop like when you have one midi ? 
 
If so, please do tell and provide the HTML code to do it 
 
Thanks 
Luke (Neil NSW Australia)no, you can only embed 1 song at a time.silly me, only been dealing with sound files forever but didnt think "outside the box" when dealing with HTML coz it scares me !! 
 
easy to have multiple songs running on a single web page, just make the wavs into one single wav, job done !!!Using Embed and Meta Refresh this script will 
play any number of random midis one after another: 
 
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

var numsong equals number of songs 
midi=(your song url) 
song=(your song title) 
time=(number of seconds song plays) 
URL=(your midiplayer addy) 
 
**************************************/ 
 
var numsong=6 
play=Math.round(Math.random()*numsong) 
if (play == 1) 
{ 
midi=("BlueJeans.mid") 
song=("Baby Got Her Bluejeans On") 
time=("200") 
} 
else if (play == 2) 
{ 
midi=("BootSctn.mid") 
song=("Boot Scootin'") 
time=("200") 
} 
else if (play == 3) 
{ 
midi=("GoodbyeEarl.mid") 
song=("GoodBye Earl") 
time=("250") 
} 
else if (play == 4)

midi=("HighwayMan.mid")

time=("190") 
} 
else if (play == 6) 
{ 
midi=("Wabash.mid") 
song=("Wabash Cannonball") 
time=("150") 
} 
 
document.write('<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="' + time + ';URL=http://transload.net/~cyberrite/Willy/Codes/MidiPlayer3.shtml">'); 
document.write('<EMBED SRC= <a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/">http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/</a>"' + midi + '" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="FALSE" VOLUME="100%">');

Perhaps my comprehension has become flawed but: 
It appears to me that the OP is requesting a script 
which allows numerous midi's to play one after another, 
as opposed to one midi continuously looping.

Of course you can not listen 
to more than one midi at a time. 
If that was possible PIP would be 
elevated to new heights of irritation.

Sorry, I missed that stipulation.

But, using refresh is the trick to playing 
more than one midi on a page (or throughout site) 
However, to prevent the page itself from refreshing 
(flickering) the script needs to be placed in either a: 
 
FRAMESET with the midiplayer in a small frame (1%) 
and the content in a larger frame (99%) 
 
IFRAME using style and setting visibility:hidden 
 
EXTERNAL .JS placed in the body and called onLoad 
 
Scout writes in part:

I didn't comprehend this statement 
but the script does play randomly and 
can easily be modified to play sequentially
