Embedding song in ASP page?

Hello friends,

I am trying to embed Windows Media Player in my ASP page.

I am using the following code to do so.

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" name="wmp1" ShowStatusBar="true" EnableContextMenu="true" autostart="true" loop="false" src='<% rs.field("Link") %>'/>

Code (markup):

The problem is..... the song doesnt get played after I embed it this way.

Can any one suggest me any solution?

I check out the connectivity coding, its perfectly fine & the link is getting retrieved properly.


Please Help.

 

The link is getting retrieved properly?
have you tried changing:
<% rs.field("Link") %>
to
<%= rs.field("Link") %>

To evaluate the expression i think you need to add the = sign, or it will do nothing. Or:
<% Response.Write rs.Field("Link") %>

 

Otherwise the issue is with the HTML. Have a look here to ensure you have the correct code:

Thanks a lot.

I missed that " = " there. It is working perfectly now

I am new to ASP..... and am learning it all on my own. So there are such simple things I am unaware of

Thank you very much.

Have a good day!

 

Very easy

Your server should support this MIME type and make sure the URL for the music is correct

 

you could embed a flash player - then have a true streaming audio file if you are looking for a cleaner/more compliant/faster loading scenario

 

Looks like the problem is solved already.

 

My best recommendation is the use the object element. Object is cross-browser compatible and if I am not mistaken, the embed element that is not inside of the object element is deprecated.
See this page for more info on the object element:
