How to Add a Music Player to Your Profile
Setting Up Your Playlist

At this time, we do not have our own music player. Plans are in the works, but until then you can use a music player like the one from Project Playlist. The instructions given here are for using the music player from Project Playlist.

To begin, you will need to set up your own account with Project Playlist. Their signup only takes a minute or two to complete.

Once you have an account and login, you can search through their lists and add songs to your new playlist.

When you get all the songs you want added, it's time to get the code to add it to your profile. Don't worry, you can go back and change them later using the Project Playlist website.

Getting the Player Code

Now, click on post my playlist at the very top right of the page.

  1. When it asks Where do you want to put your playlist?, choose option E. Get the code for any other social network, blog or your own personal website >>

  2. Next, it will say, Choose which of your playlists you want to get the code for. For now, you should just see one named "yourname's playlist". Click on it.

  3. Now you will see some player options and and a sample player.

    If you don't want it to play automatically when your profile loads, change Autostart to no.

    If you want it to play the songs in a random order, change Radom/Shuffle to yes.

    When you're done picking your options, click on the blue Get Code button.

    Step 3
