3. How do I use the MOD Plugin in my HTML files ?
---------------------------------------------------------

The syntax to put a song in your page is the following:

<EMBED SRC="whatever.mod" width="145" height="48" ...>

NOTE:
  On a Web server, the command should also include the mime-type:

<EMBED type="audio/x-mod" src="whatever.mod" ...

The mime-type used by the MOD Plugin are the following:
audio/x-mod
audio/mod
audio/x-zipped-mod (1.71+)
audio/x-zipped-it (1.81+)
audio/it (1.81+)

The following extensions are supported: mod, mdz, s3m, xm, it, mtm, med.
If your file has a different extension, please rename it to use the mod, or
mdz extension.

But you can always put any mime type for different file types:
audio/mod works with a s3m file, and vice-versa.
You should use "audio/x-mod" for all modules.

If you are using a zipped module, make sure you rename it with a
MDZ extension, or else MSIE4 users will have all their zip files
associated with the plugin -> DO NOT USING THE .ZIP EXTENSION.
The most efficient way is to use
type="audio/x-zipped-mod" src="myfile.mdz" for compressed modules
and
type="audio/x-mod" src="myfile.[mod/s3m/xm/it]" for uncompressed modules.

That's it!


NOTE: Don't forget to use the packing option of Modplug Player:
  you'll need to go to the Details window and select the 'Pack As' button.
  This can make the file twice smaller, even though quality might be reduced
  (You can slect the quality reduction, though).
  When the user will download the file from your page, it will be unpacked.
  It can make a big difference when downloading a file larger than 200K.


The other options you may want to add are the following:
- volume="x": set the volume of the song to x.
  (Default="100", range="1" to "100")

- loop="true": Loop the song. (Default:"false")

- autostart="true": Start playing the song when loaded.
  (Default="false"). (Also "autoplay" on versions 1.31+)

- autonext="true": Jump to next mod when finished playing.
  (Default="false") This is useful only if you have more
  than one song in your page. (You should use loop="true"
  instead to make the same song loop)

- controls="none"/"stereo":
  * "none": don't display anything - use with care
   because there is no way the user will be able to stop the
   mod (besides exiting the page). (same as "hidden="true")
  * "stereo"(1.65+): the horizontal spectrum analyzer will
   be split for right/left, on each side of the plugin.
   In this case the number of bands will be (width - 184) / 16.
  NOTE (1.75+): The option controls="smallconsole" has been
  removed, it's now automatic if height < 20.

- hidden="true": same as controls="none".

- title="song_title": Displays the text "song_title" when
  the song is not yet loaded. (Default: displays "Loading...")

- shuffle="true" (1.57+): goes along with autonext="true".
  when a song finishes playing, the next song will be randomly
  chosen. The shuffle option is a global flag and should appear
  on the first EMBED section in the page. This flags sets
  the autonext="true" flag automatically.

- bgcolor="black"(default),"gray" (1.60+): Select a background color
  for the plugin.
  v1.75+: you can specify a color like bgcolor="#RRGGBB".

- spcolor="red"(default),"green","blue" (1.61+): Select the color of
  the spectrum analyzer.
  v1.75+: you can specify a color like spcolor="#RRGGBB".

- vucolor="color1", vucolorhi="color2" (1.75+): you can now change
  the color of the VU-meter. The default for vucolor is green, and
  is red for vucolorhi.

- spcolorhi: defines the top-color of the spectrum analyzer (1.75+).
  The default color is red. The middle color will be the mix between
  spcolor and spcolorhi.

NOTE: (v1.43+)
--------------
- If you want to enable the VU-Meter, the width parameter
  should be set to "168". The VU-Meter cannot be used with
  the controls="smallconsole" option.
- If the plugin is hidden (with controls="none" or hidden commands),
  autostart will be set to "true".

Spectrum Analyzer (1.60+)
-------------------------
- You can enable the spectrum analyzer by setting a height
  of 96 (bottom spectrum) or a width of 336 (right spectrum).
- v1.61+: You can have from 3 to 80 bands in your right spectrum
  analyzer: set the width parameter to 176+(numbands*8).
  The frequency range is between 86Hz (left) and 11KHz (right).
- v1.65+: With the stereo spectrum, the number of bands on each
  side will be (width - 184) / 16.
