how do you insert a windows MINIPLAYER into your webpage to play your radio station?

First, you are creating a single, independent file to upload to your web server. This is the "change_me_to_what_i_want_it_to_be_named.asx". This file is created in say, notepad or wordpad by simply typing this in the blank new text document you have when running notepad or wordpad:

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

<asx version="3.0">
<entry>
<title>Your preferred title</title>
<author>Your preferred author</author>
<ref href="http://yourIP:yourPORT/"/>
</entry>
</asx>

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

Now after pasting this in a new text document, change the information to match your specific setup; Like the name, author and of course your shoutcast server IP and the port.

Now you have to save the file so that it has the .asx suffix and not the .txt or .doc suffix. Try naming it wmp.asx, or your choice.asx. Look at this file in windows explorer to be sure it did in fact save as an .asx file.

If so, upload this to your webserver site, remembering the name and the location of where you uploaded the .asx file to.

Now put this snippet of code below in the html page wherever you want it. Remember here that the location of the xxx.asx file you just uploaded must match the setup you have on your remote server- I for example uploaded my .asx file in my root folder (home folder where my homepage or index page is).

************************************************
<embed src="whatever_you_chose_as_the_prefix_mentioned_above.asx" width="68" height="28" align="middle"></embed>

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

Change this file name and path to suit your situation. My example would be 'src="http://www.wlma.net/wmp.asx"...all depending on where this .asx file is in relation to the site folder directory on your website.

Give that a try
