Alright...I have upgraded the music playing abilities of TNO.

Before, you guys needed to use attachments. I have decided to disable this in favor of something even BETTER!

Using the free music upload service at ZippyShare I have allowed for unlimited embedded music playing for TNO for use in the threads. Its totally free, there are no wait times, no file limits, and a maximum of up to 200 Mb per file. Best of all, there is no impact on TNO traffic or bandwidth.

You have two options for embedded media playing.

allows you to embed music that will wait for activation
allows you to embed music that will play as soon as the page loads.

Now...this method is a bit more complex but it is also far better as there is no limit to how many songs you can upload. However...ZippyShare deletes songs after 30 days.

I will provide a quick tutorial on how to use this service...

1. Go to http://www.zippyshare.com/ and upload a music file.

2. Once the music file is uploaded, you will be given a URL. Lets say the following URL is what ZippyShare gave us:

The number highlighted in green is the www code while the number in blue is your file code.

3. Now...when you press either or you will be presented with a popup box. You will enter your www code into this box and press ok.

4. After you press ok...you will see something like this:

Quote:
[ ZIPPY1="1"][/ZIPPY1 ]
5. You will now enter your file number between the two BBCode brackets like so:

Quote:
[ ZIPPY1="1"]46317568[/ZIPPY1 ]
6. Now, post your message (or use preview post) and you will see the media player embedded as such: (just press the play button)



Easy as pie!

If there are any questions...post them here.

****************

I will keep the attachment player active as well...if only to have a more permanent form of posting things...but I strongly recommend ZippyShare.

If I find an even better music sharing service, I will let you guys know.
