Can You Add Music to Weebly Website?

Last updated on December 27, 2022 @ 12:21 pm

 

Weebly is a website builder that allows users to create and customize their own websites. With Weebly, you can easily add music to your website by using the HTML5 <audio> element.

To add an audio file to your Weebly website, follow these steps:

  1. Find the URL of the audio file you want to add to your website. You can find the URL by right-clicking on the audio file and selecting “Copy link address.”
  2. In the Weebly editor, go to the page where you want to add the audio file.
  3. Click on the “Add” button and select the “Embed Code” option.
  4. Paste the following code into the “Embed Code” box:
<audio src="URL of audio file">
  1. Replace “URL of audio file” with the URL of the audio file you copied in step 1.
  2. Click the “Save” button to apply your changes.

The audio file will now be embedded on your Weebly website. You can customize the playback of the audio file using the following attributes:

  • src: Specifies the URL of the audio file.
  • controls: Specifies that controls should be displayed (play, pause, volume, etc.). This is the default value.
  • autoplay: Specifies that the audio should start playing as soon as it is loaded.
  • loop: Specifies that the audio should start over again when it reaches the end.
  • muted: Specifies that the audio should be muted (no sound).

You can also style the <audio> element using CSS. To do this, you will need to add some CSS code to your Weebly website. Here’s how:

  1. In the Weebly editor, go to the “Design” tab.
  2. Click on the “Custom CSS” option.
  3. Paste the following code into the “Custom CSS” box:
audio {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
}

This code will add a black border and padding to the audio player. You can customize the CSS code to change the appearance of the audio player to your liking. For example, you could change the border color to red or the padding to 20px.

Adding music to your Weebly website is a great way to engage visitors and make your site more enjoyable to browse. By using the HTML5 <audio> element and customizing the playback and appearance with CSS, you can create a professional and user-friendly music player on your Weebly website.

PRO TIP: Weebly does not currently offer the ability to upload music files to your website. While you can add audio files, these must be linked from an external source such as SoundCloud. Weebly is working on adding this feature in the future. In the meantime, please contact our support team if you have any questions.
