Out of tune radio

Our first brief at Blackwood was for the NZBus iPod promotion. Luckily we came up with the goods on our second day and got to make a radio ad! It was really interesting going to the recording, choosing the talent and stressing about getting the rights to the song (which changed about 5 times!). Our idea was also expanded into an ambient stunt with singers giving out flyers on buses. Enjoy :D

Hey bro, all you need to do is first upload your mp3 file to a hosting place like Google's Page Creator (www.pages.google.com) then when you add a new post in Blogger, click on the HTML coding tab of that particular post and add the following code:

Remember to alter the linking part in the code to your uploaded mp3. Hope this help :)

Hmmm...now that your mp3 has been hosted, it should work.

I haven't use GoogleSite before so I don't know how the interface work, but in PageCreator, I can see the list of file currently being hosted and each file is a URL link that I can access. So if you can do the same in GoogleSite, then you can try to copy your mp3's link and test if you can access it by paste the link in your browser.

The little mp3 player interface you see in my blog is just part of the functionality of a browser. You don't need to add the player separately. In fact, when you test your link like I have just suggested, you can also see the little player when your mp3 loads.

You're welcome mate ;)

Hey, I've just made a testing post on my old blog and your mp3 is working. All you'll need to do is a bit tweaking:

Use the same embedding code that I've mentioned before:

and instead of putting your whole mp3 link into the code, just put this:

http://sites.google.com/site/mmackinven/Home/BAY-30-0030.mp3

(The "?attredirects=0" part was for redirecting so no use in here).

Enjoy your new radio post :)

Gotcha, all done. Haha I didn't realize that the url you posted was a link to an image of the code!

So was looking at the link wondering 'why is this an embedding code? doesn't look like one, oh well'. Haha, all good, thanks man!

can delete these questions now :)
