Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to have a link that says, Play that would play the song using the viewers default media player. Having never donethis before, what formats should the files be in and do I call them in the script?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

but they will need to Download <!--more--> it first. You can embed a Windows media player using VBS. Or you can use <BGSOUND> to make it play in the background, but that uses a heck of a lot of bandwidth!<!--content-->I'm guessing .mid's are midi extensions?? I would prefer to have it in a Windows Media format. I edit an mp3 down to a 30 second clip and when I saved it, it was 2.5megs! Guess .wav is the wrong format. What should I do?<br />

Artic gave a couple of good links, but were overwelming due to the amount of information on those sites.

I noticed that I could use: <a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"mysong.mid">My song</a> and this is the theory I believe I'd like to use for my page. However, not caring for midi's, can I use a WMP format instead? What would the extension be? .wav? .wma?<br />
<br />
A second sub-question of, I would like for this song to start playing when they press play and continue to Download <!--more--> as they are listening to the song. Besides it will only be a 30-second clip. The complete version can/will be Download <!--more-->able thru another link.<br />
<br />
