How to Put Music on Tumblr Profile
Please note that a significant number of Tumblr
users really dislike the notion of a music track/player set on autoplay. This is especially true for those that can’t
be turned off. Even I, am one the many
people who go out their way to un-follow these people. Then again, a large number of people still
ask how it is done, so here is the way you can put a background track onto your
Tumblr.
Inasmuch as there are such a large number of ways in which to put music on your
tumblr, I will show you with how to use hypster to add music.
This is how you put autoplay
music on in the background of your blog
The autoplay widget comes from the Hypster.com
website
Register with Hypster and open up a new
account
Log into your new account, and scroll down the
screen until you find the play list section
Set the music you are interested in using to
“Active”
Now go to search and add songs to your play
list
This play-list will now become your background
music play list that plays automatically
If later down the line you want different song
to play, then you will have to come back here and add new songs
You should now create an auto play musical
widget using Hypster
Choose the play list that you wish to use and
check the “enable auto play” option
You will then need to find out your embed code
and code it into your Tumblr Blog
The embedding code will need a little
tinkering and fiddling with before it is ready for your Tumblr blog
For example you will need to get right of the
img tag, etc, etc.
There are two height and width tags, of which
the values within must be changed
The size you create for your width tag depends
on if you want people to see the title of the current song
Don’t delete the px word after the values
Once you are happy with your
embed code (strongly suggest you look up the coding before continuing, to see
if you have done it correctly) you should go to your Tumblr site and click on
“customize theme”, and then to “Edit Html” and put your embed code wherever you
would like it. If you are giving your
viewer the chance to stop the auto-playing music, then you should really put it
near the top, so that they are free to stop it right away.
