Inspired by Fred Wilson’s FredWilson.fm, I decided to see if I could add a playlist to my website using Streampad. As you can see, I now have Streampad’s player running at the bottom of this page. Here are the steps you’ll need to take to add it to your own site:
- Set up a Tumblr blog and start posting music to your blog in MP3 format. Tumblr allows you to upload one MP3 file a day or you could link to MP3s hosted elsewhere. This will become your playlist for Streampad.
- Insert Streampad’s code in your page template’s header between the <head> and </head> tags.
- Here’s the code to insert. Make sure that you change the Tumblr URL to your own URL: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://static.streampad.com/streampad-tumblr.js?api=YOURNAME.tumblr.com&autoplay=true”></script>
- You can delete the autoplay parameter if you don’t want Streampad to start playing automatically when a user loads your page. There are several other parameters you can add to the JS URL to alter the appearance of the player.
Hi
Thanks for giving tips on streampad music play list.
I like to hear more about multimedia play list, which i can embed that in my personal website.
Any ways, I am learning my music technology degree in Hollywood’s best music school.

How do I upload music onto it? I just have the bar at the bottom of my blog without any music.
