I just saw how the user Kev put a nice Soundclick flash player on Toxic Grind Machine MySpace page and decided to figure out how to do it cutting all the crap. So here´s a short tutorial, if someone is interested.

1: Enter on your SoundClick page and click on "» widgets and banners" link on the ":: navigation" menu on the left.

2: Find the "Basic MP3 player" (it´s the second one) and click on "click here to get the code" link.

3: Select "extra wide" on the "Size" pulldown menu.

4: Set "Shuffle songs" and "Autoplay" options as you wish.

5: Click on the "Copy" button right above the box with all the codes.

6: Paste this code on your "Bio/about me" section of MySpace (or whetever you wish the player to display).

7: Now let´s cut the crap things of the code. Delete all the things on red. I will use my own player code as an example, so obviously your code will show different numbers such as "bandid".

<div style="width:473px; border:solid #999999 1px; background-image:url('http://www.soundclick.com/images/elogos/SC_ExtBG.png')">

<a href="http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandid=809261">

<div style="margin:5px 0px 3px 0px; text-align:center">Now playing: muraico</div>

<div style="width:473px; height:45px; cursor:pointer;"><img src="http://www.soundclick.com/images/elogos/SC_460.png" /></div></a>

8: Save it and test. Hope it works, and sorry about any english mistakes.
 
That's really cool, thanks for sharing.
I have a question, I did what you say in your tutorial and the soundclick player appeared in the "About me" section of my myspace page but I also get the myspace mp3 player. Is there a way to remove it?

I just deleted all the songs that I have uploaded on MySpace and the player disappeared.

Oh, and if you want to put your MP3 avaible for download I suggest using the Microsoft SkyDrive. It´s a very good free virtual HD. There you can make a folder, upload your MP3s on high bitrate and put the link on your MySpace page.
 
HOpefully this is a simple question...

When I follow the directions I get a bunch of songs from some other artist on my myspace page ... so do I add my own mp3s in my soundclick page and them copy the same code as in the message or can do I change the sounds in the player on my myspace page????

Many Thanks-
 
i know this is an old thread but i figured i would just ask here rather than start a new thread

i have been using Soundclick player and all of a sudden the other day the myspace music player showed back up....i havent touched anything....there are No songs uploaded ......can anyone help figure out how to get it to dissappear....i found some codes that move it and all they do is mess my soundclick player up

right now i dont have the soundclick player because i just totally wiped everything out of my about me section thinking it was something i did and no its still there

any ideas???

thanks for any help

I think it's a bug on myspace. It's happened on mine and other people's myspace pages as well.
 
Hmm, maybe if this new one is as high-quality as the soundclick one (and plays as reliably), I might go back to using it for the sake of cleaning up my page...
 
Managed to find out how to do it, if anyone else is looking to add the Soundclick player to their page jsut follow these instructions:



Go to your soundclick music page, click artist radio: all songs in one go, hi-fi

When the player loads, click the "embed player on myspace" link

'Source' option should say "band radio", then copy all the code in the big box

Log in to your myspace acc't

Edit profile, band details, edit "Bio"

Paste the soundclick code at the top of your bio info, preview, submit

click Manage songs, delete all the songs for your myspace player
