How do I?

Hi folks,
Just joined today. I'm here more to be assisted than to assist but hopefully that will change through time.

I'm trying to put together a page that can play MP3s in real player and WMP.

I was trying to use this code from http://www.scottstapp.com/music.html to play my own tunes.........

<tr>

<td><img src="images/music/justify.gif" width="88" height="12"></td>
<td><divalign="center"><ahref="http://play.rbn.com/url=windup/windu....rm&proto=dual"onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image11611','','images/music/realOn.gif',1)"><imgsrc="images/music/real.gif"name="Image11611"width="40"height="9"bord er="0"id="Image1161"></a></div></td>

<td><divalign="center"><ahref="mms://windup.wmod.llnwd.net/a68/o1/scottstapp/audio/justify_2min.wma"onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image11711','','images/music/winOn.gif',1)"><imgsrc="images/music/win.gif"name="Image11711"width="33"height="9"borde r="0"id="Image1171"></a></div></td>

<td><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('lyrics/justify.html','','scrollbars=yes,width=400,height= 450')"><imgsrc="images/music/lyrics.gif"width="55"height="9"border="0"></a></div></td>

</tr>


But I can't get it to work. I understand about the images part of the code but can I just change the ahref link to.....

<ahref="http://mywebsite.com/url=folder1/folder2/mysong.rm

to play in Real player and.....

<ahref="mms://mywebsit.com/folder1/folder2/mysong.wma

to play in WMP?

Also do I need to change my MP3 file to another type of file for each player?

Do I need to upload the file to a server to test it?

And last but not least what is mms://

Sorry for all the questions,

Hope someboby can help and thaks in advance,

Newbie,

All you need to do is link to the files normally.

The browser takes care of the rest:
<a href="path/to/your/mp3/track" title="my mp3 track">Listen Here!</a>

Thanks,
But any idea how I get the file to open in Real Player and alternatively WMP?

If you could have a look at this website, I would like to achieve this...

http://www.scottstapp.com/music.html

Just link them normally.

If the viewer has the programs installed they will open with them.

I get that, I think...

What is the rm extention at the end of the Real audio file in the original piece of script I posted?

Can I just replace the mp3 extention with rm?

Apologies for my ignorance.

No it needs to be the format :P encoded.

rm is a real media format.
mp3 is music format.

If you have a track. Music4.mp3

You cant link it like this
<a href="Music4.rm">Listen Here!</a>
It will look for that specific extension on your server and not find it.
