The link in the imbed is not right. I went to mediafire and uploaded a WAV file. Will WAV's work or do they need to be mp3's?

What is the http address on mediafire where your file is located?


This is a wav file. Yes they do work.


At some stage you may want to convert your wavs to mp3's they are smaller in size and use less memory. There is free converter software available.

AH! You can't embed from there but you can link to your piece like this, copy and paste this address in your browser.

http://www.mediafire.com/?bqf2cfca9h3xa4z


Something wrong there, looks like a video file???????

You may want to consider using Dropbox. Looks better.

You embed within this html right?



Where is says www.abc.com I would put mediafile.com

Were is says any sound file, I would put the following but without the mediafile portion, right?

The embed HTML is correct but your file is on mediafire which only appears to give you the option of either playing or downloading on their site. You can't embed your file from mediafire, only link to it.

I've not used it but nacoran uses Dropbox which is more straightforward.

Jehosephat, you'll what your code to look like this:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8571743/2011-07-10%20hohner/hohner%20001.JPG">

But shrink that image first. It's waaaaaay to big for the screen! :)

i guess this is a forum skill using proper punctuation not everybody can spell well but that's ok because we can figure it out but when you don't use proper punctuation or at least attempt to it makes reading your post very very difficult punctuation includes use of upper case letters and seperate paragraphs there have been posts thst sounded like they would be interesting but i simply could not read the damn thing i quit trying before i got half way through it if you want people to read your posts please try to make it easy for them if it's too hard to read few people will read it if it's a longer post you are gauranteed nobody will read it maybe somebody who's in a puzzle solving mood might give it a try i'd like to make this post longer to drive home my point but i'm about to drive myself nuts i bet y'all are going nuts too if you're still reading this i don't know if i should say congratulations or WHY

Completely OT, but I want to see if I can figure out how to post this...


see more funny videos, and check out our Yo Dawg lols!



Okay, now if you are still with me, play the one while watching the other...

I've got this song stuck in my head since I heard it on Breaking Bad. I've been wanting to rip off some Spanish sounding trumpet parts for a while. I just happened to be on Failblog when I was listening to it in the background. If you sync them right the head crash and the bell crash line up over and over.

(I know, I'm a horrible person. Schadenfreude has captured my brain.)

Nate: It appeared as a reply in another post by 7limitJL. Can you tell which Harp is which?

My offerings were played in the following order:

1. Golden Melody
2. Pro Harp
3. Marine Band 1896
4. Harpmaster
5. Promaster 350V

Why do websites always only put pictures of the front of a harp up. I tried looking to see if it was a open/closed back issue and I couldn't find pictures of the backs of those harps! I do like the tone of MB's. It's always been the wooden edge that gets me, although I've leaned towards ET harps in my own set.

Spell check is a good thing. Because, quite frankly, some people are spelling challenged. At our age, there really is no excuse for misspelling simple words. If you can't spell correctly, type onto Word Pad and use spell check before you cut and paste. Thank you.

You want your code to look like this:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8571743/harp%20001.JPG">

Although by the time I got here it wasn't working. Did you move the picture? The other possibilities are that you didn't put it in your public folder in Dropbox or you copied the URL from the address bar. In Dropbox you need to right click the file and there will be a little option in the menu that says Dropbox. Mouse to that and it will give you and option to copy the public url.

Hope that helps. :)

I found Adam's adaptation of Billy Preston's "Will It Go 'Round in Circles" recently. In the process of learning it, I worked up a tab for the verses and chorus and thought I would share it, if anyone is interested.

The video is here:



Also check out Billy Preston himself:



B, D and d are blow, draw and bent draw, respectively. 3d(4h)-3D means 'grab a bit of the 4 hole while bending the 3 draw and releasing.' Although I'm not dyslexic, I still think it is a strain on the eyes to decipher all those numbers and letters, so I put the number of the riff as it appears in the song off to the right. I hope it helps to keep things straight.

"Will It Go 'Round in Circles" by Billy Preston

(Intro riff) 5D 6B 5D 5B, 4D 4D 4d 4B 3d 2D (1)

I got a song, ain't got no melody, 4d 4D 4d 4B 3d 2D (2)
