Embedding an MP3 in a webpage

[pikey]

Hello,

I have a (small) MP3 I want to embed in a webpage and the only way I've worked out so far is a hyperlink. (Example here next to the words 'audio file'.) I've seen small "players" embedded in the page so when someone clicks 'play' it runs.

Any pointers on how? I've got little idea about the technicalities of web pages and therefore use Frontpage (for my sins).

Thanks

You need to embed the media player control and pass it the mp3 that you want it to play.

There will be thousands of tutorials on how to do this on the web.

Go to random page on ytmnd, right click, view source.

<object data="http://content.ytmnd.com/content/9/3/ type="audio/mpeg" height="0" width="0">
<param name="autostart" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="hidden" value="true">

</object>

Admittedly this isn't a perfect solution as some people can't hear the sound without tweaking (i.e. firefox or quicktime alternative users - ie uses quicktime to play it and prompts for install.
