Web Page SOUND Tutorial
Adding Sound to your Webpages

computer     This lesson will show you how to code your webpage to Play Sound...

    Advantage of this method: (1) Users have a CHOICE to either listen or not... if you code to automatically play sound (using <bgsound> or <embed>), you will undoubtably lose many users who simply do NOT want to listen to your sound file... (2) No "helper application" such as Windows Media or Real Player has to open to play your sound file, so users are kept "in full view" of your webpage as the sound plays... (3) Compatable with IE, Firefox and Chrome plus many other web browsers...

The method to put Sound onto your webpage is to use the AUDIO HTML5 TAG
just click the "little arrow" ...

<audio controls>
<source src="http://yourhost.com/ directory/file_name.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

Note: The audio tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, but will work on most HTML5 supported browsers, including Android Devices, and Tablets, but (probably) not iPads or iPhones...
