Subtle Background Music Player (no autoplay)

Tags: music, autoplay, css, fancy, audio, twilight

Description:

This does not work with raw YouTube or other service links. You need a file host that can serve mp3s with a direct link, like copying the URL from Discord uploads or even Google Drive and Dropbox using the methods described here..

While playing MP3s or OGGs automatically is nigh impossible, unless you do something evil like cover the screen while the music's not playing so any click starts it (which would be a rule violation as far as I'm aware), this one might catch the attention of a viewer and cause them to play it out of curiosity.

Update: If you want to have it play automatically just in case someone has autoplay enabled for the website, add autoplay="autoplay" after loop="loop" in the code. This does not mean it will autoplay necessarily -- your browser would have to allow you to enable autoplay. Please do not complain if autoplay does not work, that's simply something they changed about web browsers and there's no way to get around it with the HTML spacehey gives you.

I recommend using internet radio stations for this one – currently, it's loaded with lainon.life's audio stream, but there's ones out there for stuff like vaporwave and such, so finding one playing whatever you like shouldn't be too much trouble.

Failing that though, you can just upload an mp3 or ogg to a filehost and have it play as a loop once someone clicks.

Practice_Safe_Hex	1637727319 So I changed the YouTube embedded code to an mp3 and posted the whole code but all that comes up is a music player with a play button but says 0 minutes. It's like it added the music box but not the song. Any suggestions? Report Comment

uw4ntg1g1✮	1636794725 This one doesn't auto play but I found one that does. Copy paste this into "interests" To pick ur own music first go to youtube, find the embed link under 'share' and copy ONLY the numbers and letters from the last part of a YouTube link. Paste where the # are (delete the hashtags) but do NOT remove the question mark Report Comment just post in anywhere in interest, example general? by Lena\|Bunz; 1636795555; Report “ABOUT ME” works too but I put mine in “Interests” because my background is in about me but it will work either way by uw4ntg1g1✮; 1636796243; Report Comment the link to the YouTube video (link) you want I’ll just paste it here by uw4ntg1g1✮; 1636851905; Report I LITERALLY FORGOT 2 PASTE THE CODE LMAO but thisbisbwhatbibwasbtalkingabout by uw4ntg1g1✮; 1636853328; Report Ohhh wow apparently it won’t let me paste the code sorry :/ … that’s why u couldn’t see it in my original comment by uw4ntg1g1✮; 1636853540; Report I’m trying to explain that I am pasting it but it won’t post it just removes it from final comment by uw4ntg1g1✮; 1636853647; Report that’s too much work & I don’t care enough.
