Re: How does one listen to mp3 files

hello back Eileen
The person who you have sent this e-mail to with the song in the background has to do the following in their outlook express e-mail program to be able to hear the song you sent them when they open the message: under tools, in the options selection, go to the security tab and in the security tab make sure the selection 
block images and other external things from HTML pages is unchecked
once this is unchecked by pressing the space bar being located on this selection in the security tab, now tab to apply and hit enter then tab to okay and press enter and they have now completed the unchecking of this security selection and can now hear your song when they open your e-mail.
Hope this helps whoever you are trying to send this song to and happy surfing 
Hank Merchant Jr.

Thanks.  I was able to do all the commands and I got the sound to work
on my side, but when I mailed it out the person did not get the sound.

I wonder if it depends on the e mail software that people are using as
to whether they will get the sound or not?

Hello Eileen,
There is 2 essential keys to the directions given.

1. The most important is  that these directions seem to be only for
outlook
express 2002 and later. you can change the background colors in outlook
but
cannot seem to put sound into the background.

2. you must be in the compose phase of an email for the directions to
work.

 Hi,
 Which e mail software are the directions for?  I tried doing the alt
o
 in Outlook and got the favorites menu.  I could not find a format
menu.
 In Output Express, the alt o did not open a menu and I could not
find
 the format menu there either.

 Thanks,

 Hi Hank,
 I just tried sending myself an email with a sound as the background.
It

 played until I sent the email. When I received the email it played
the

 sound. When I checked my sent folder the sound played. I have no
idea
 why
 yours did not play. Try sending yourself something and see what
 happens.

   Hello

   I did these steps you mention and it appeared that I was
successful
 in
 placing a desired song in the email because when I completed these
 steps and
 was placed back in the body of the message where I could add more
text
 or
 not the desired song started playing.  So with the desired song
 playhing I
 sent the email.

   But when I went into my sent folder and opened up this email I had
 just
 sent with the desired song I wanted to play in the background, no
song

 started playhing, I just saw the text of the email that I had typed,
 but no
 song began to play.  What gives?

   Have I done it correctly to place a desired song in a email to be
 played
 automatically when opened or is there something I'm not doing
 correctly?  If
 you can plese help me out with this, I would much appreciate it.


   Happy surfing

   Hank Merchant

     To put music on your email do the following:

     open a new message and press alt o for the format menu.

     Make sure rich text and html is check

     Then do alt o again to go to the format menu again and press b
for
     background then s for sound or arrow up and down till you get
the
 background
     then sound.

     Then tab once to browse then look for the sound you want

     Then tab to ok and you should have your sound there.

       Francis,

       Here's how to set things up so that the file will play.  Once
you
 do
 this, you won't have to do it again.  So don't be scared away by
these

 instructions.

       First, find Windows Media Player on your system.  It is
probably

 already there.  Let's assume it is.  Look for it under Start
 Menu/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment.  Just arrow down until you
 come to
 it. (You might wish to create either a hotkey or a desktop icon for
 this
 application for your convenience later, so you don't have to hunt
for
 it
 again like that, but that is another topic).

       Now launch Windows Media Player (often referred to on a
mailing
 list
 as WMP, for short).

       Now you have to set it up so that it will always play an .mp3
 file on
 your hard drive when you click on the filename.  To do that, go to
the
 Tools
 menu by pressing alt T.  Use your up arrow to come to the Options
item
 (it's
 actually near the bottom of the menu, but since you can cycle around
 and
 around in this menu list, going upward will bring you to it
quickly).
 Now
 open the submenu by pressing right arrow or Enter.

       You will now be in a sequence of "tabs," each of which is a
menu

 related to one specific area of operation.  Use Control Tab to move
to
 the
 Media types tab.

       Now if you want WMP to play everything audio you need played,
 from
 steaming audio online to an .mp3 file, just tab to the Select All
 button and
 hit Enter.  If you want to choose only some audio formats and not
 others (no
 reason at this point in your experience, I'm guessing), someone else
 can
 probably help you do that.  But I suggest pressing Enter on Select
All.

 Now, I haven't done this for a while, so I forget if you have to
then
 tab to
 OK and press Enter to make the settings permanent and make the menu
 close.
 I think so.  Be careful to do this if it's the right thing.  You'll
 know if
 you press tab after selecting all, and come to an OK button.

       Okay.  Now you're set up.  Now, find the .mp3 file on your
 computer.
 Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to go to wherever it is.  For
 instance,
 c:\my music\Christmas Carol.mp3.  With that filename selected (so
that
 Jaws
 is speaking it when you land on it), press Enter.

       and now, WMP launches, and the file begins to play.

       There are more adjustments you can make, but this is the basic
 idea.

       I hope that helps.

       Hello,

       you need a programme that will play .MP3 files, something like
 Microsoft windows media Player should do the job.
       You need to save the attachment then load it in to Microsoft
 media
 player.
