How To Add Audio

“Lots of websites use audio for multiple purposes. Here’s a brief tutorial on how to use audio on your own site.

Upload it

Naturally, the first step is to upload the audio file. Just use your ftp to upload the file as you would any other, and remember the audio file’s url. Also, take into account the file size. Different types of audio files tend to have different sizes and smaller ones function better. Midis are generally the best, though .wav and .au files can hold more.

Link to it

One way to have audio on your page is to link to it. Any savvy HTML user knows the code to create a link. It will look like this:

{a href=”xyz.wav”}Text here{/a}

Where “xyz.wav” is the audio file’s url and “Text here” is what will appear as a link. Naturally, use > and < in place of } and {. I only use those to avoid auto-formatting.”
