MillyMilly's Stolen Guide to Alternative Picosong
#1
Hi!
I'm stealing all of this from Kazuki's original post on the Spire's forums, located here!

Anyway.

Things you'll need are:
  • A dropbox account with dropbox downloaded to your PC.
  • A trashcan to throw your picosong loyalty away.
So first, you'll want to get your song or what have you already downloaded as an MP3. Then, you'll head over to the Dropbox website (Link provided here) and upload your MP3 file as you can see here where the arrow is pointing at. I already have my audio file set, so we'll skip the uploading process. All you'll have to do is find your MP3 and select it.

Next, you'll want to hover over your MP3 file and click on Share.

After the popup appears, you'll hover your cursor towards the Copy Link and press it to copy your MP3 link. Make sure to save it as we'll need it for something more complicated later.

Now after you are done with that, you'll want to head over to this website here. This website will automatically place your MP3 link into a premade HTML for you to use within your profile. Cool ain't it? So we'll get started on how you should actually enter the link into the website. First, copy this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/

Place it in one of the text boxes inside the billy website and don't do anything. Next, you'll want to get that link you got earlier from dropbox and was told to save. Here's an example of what you'll want to do.


You got your link here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ l2idvcsirvc25mq/Saber%20-%20Excalibur%20-%20Fatezero%20OST.mp3?dl=0
___________________________

Now, copy ONLY this part of the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ l2idvcsirvc25mq/Saber%20-%20Excalibur%20-%20Fatezero%20OST.mp3?dl=0
___________________________

Paste it in the same box you pasted the first link above right after it and you should have something like this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ l2idvcsirvc25mq/Saber%20-%20Excalibur%20-%20Fatezero%20OST.mp3?dl=0

___________________________

I know it sounds all complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it. It'll be really easy in the long run. Now comes the final step!


Once you've done all the steps above, you can now generate the link as shown here:

Now you should, finally, have your HTML code ready to copy and paste into your profile. Just make sure it works by pressing the play button at the bottom there.

Enjoy your HTML code for your music to add to your profile. No more do you have to worry about having a basic and quiet profile! Oh, but wait! Kazuki, how do I get rid of the music box from showing within the profile??? Easy! Just go into the code and set the Height and Width to "0" and it'll disappear! I hope this guide was helpful as it was my first one. If it sucks please tell me as I do take feedback from anyone gladly!



Edit: Thanks to my brother from another mother. Here's the fix as of now.

ADDITIONAL:
If you want a name with spaces in it, you need to add " " (without the quotation marks), in lieu of spaces in the title.

This guide was proven to be ineffective and generally broken with the addition of Friendsbilly, which you do not need. Ignore the above.

Actual guide to get music you want:

>Find a video on youtube with your desired song and copy the link.
>Find an MP3 converter online to download the video as an MP3 file type using the videos link.
>Optional: Run the mp3 through audio software to lower the volume to about half to avoid ear rape.
>Load up your Dropbox account - You don't need to download it at all, just use the browser version.
>Upload the MP3 to Dropbox.
>Hover over the file and click 'Share' then look for 'Create Link' and click that, then click 'Copy Link' that appears after.
>Replace the line www.dropbox.com in the link to: dl.dropboxusercontent.com instead. (The change in the link essentially makes it so you automatically download or stream the content when it's loaded in HTML.)
> Add this to the bottom of your description with the modified dropbox link where told. <embed width=0 height=0 autostart=true src=DROPBOXLINK>

>Hit save.

the easiest way is probably with youtube

or with this dropbox code you won't need billy:
