If possible, how do you put music on your profile?

    I really want to know if it's for all members or only for admins, or with special permission

    I would like to know this too, but I don't know if anyone can actually explain me how to do it. I hope so.

    Everyone can do it, you just have to know how to do it. And I don't..

    It's not for Admins only, nor is there any special privilege

    You just need to know the method - and like Alduin, I don't. I suppose I should find out really.... or at least wait until someone comes along who knows, and is willing to explain it

    Hehe!

    -sighs- It was only a matter of time I guess...

    You need to add a small line of code to a video embed, normally when you paste across your embed code it will look like this...

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2-_g8NZr1tA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    To get the music to play when someone visits your page you need to add the line '&autoplay=1' to the embed code. Like this...

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2-_g8NZr1tA?rel=0&autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    To get the music to play more than once you could use &autoplay=10 to get the music to play ten times, there are other commands you can use to start the music at a certain point. #t=0m46s would start playing the track 46 seconds in.

    When you are done with your set up you can just shrink the video player down to the size of a pixel so it doesn't add clutter to your page or thread. On my newest build you can just make out the tiny little media player...

    Where do you put these codes on your page? I've tried these methods before but they never work since they never say where to actually paste the codes.

    I think you put them in the HTML tab.

    Every profile page has a text box (exactly like this one) for you to add your media. Paste your modified embed code into the media box and your away...

    It should be noted that not all videos can be shrunk down to 1X1, some of them don't like it....

    Click the media button and paste your embed into the box...

    It needs to fit the rest of the profile somewhat. You got something better?

    I mean for my profile. I wasn't very suprised with your profile song.
