Author Topic: How do you make music files available on a site without getting liscense errors? (Read 272 times)

I still have a lot to learn about websites.

I'm trying to get recordings of my school's choir on our school website. I made a page that has two links that work well from the machine that built the page and recorded the music, however, other machines machine say that there is some kind of liscense error and won't run it.

I've never played with sound before. Heck, I don't think I've ever even downloaded one song ever.

What do I do?

Thanks,

eskimo

what'd you record it in, MP3, realjukebox? Some have this built in key system that you have to turn off (WMP).

Convert it to MP3. No licensing errors, and everyone can play it.

If your using windows encoder make sure you have digital rights management clicked off. It's on by default.

Thanks guys!

I made them into Wave Sound files and imbeded them into a couple of web pages. They work well on all of our home computers now.

just a thought but you might want to provide a link for downloads too...

Using .WAV is a bad idea, it makes the files 2-3 times as big as they need to be. Get a WAV to MP3 converter, it's worth it.
