Thanks, tried that. I paste the html of the imix onto the page and it publishes as the html copy that I copied off the imix page as according to directions.
Does it have to do w/ Flash? Does iweb not do this sort of thing w/out some kind of html workaround?

Here's a test page....

I made an iMix to try it out but it hasn't procreated yet. This is somebody else's code that I found in the Wordpress forum.
Note how I had to increase the width in the code to get the popup to display correctly in the published version.

Now I have my own iMix and have republished the page showing the code I got from iTunes and the cut down code that I actually used.

Got it - Apple support site forgot to tell me that I had to paste the html into the html widget, never did that before.
So now I have an iMix on there, but I'm disappointed w/ it. When you click on the iMix window you're taken off your own site and to the iTunes imix site. Then I suppose the viewer has to make sure they have iTunes installed. Plus you're left w/ an ugly place holder that says "loading" on your site. Any way around this?
By the way, Roddy, got your ebook last night, looking forward to using it.

I don't use iTunes except when I really have to so I had never heard of an iMix until I read your topic.
I must admit that its kind of hokey.
Once you have your music released by a digital distributor and its available on iTunes, you will be able to display the Apple page on your own website using an iFrame like this.....

As far as getting music to play on a website is concerned, were kind of stuck in limbo at the moment due to the fact that, up until recently, the best way was flash as this is the most popular browser plugin.
iOS devices like iPhone/iPad don't support flash so we really need to cater for these users by providing an HTML5 version.
Its kind of futile to drag a music file onto the iWeb page and depend on the viewer having or downloading the QuickTime plugin. A huge percentage of PC users don't have it and most of those in the corporate and educational environments are not allowed to download it.
I'm in the process of updating the iWeb for Musicians Music Player section to try to keep pace with all this. One of the things I am working on is implementing the new JW Longtail Video player for audio. Here's an example on this test page.....
