After completing this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Make a waveform audio recording.

  • Adjust the quality of a waveform audio recording.

  • Explain the difference between sampling rate and bits per sample.

  • Link a waveform audio recording to your Web page.

  • Embed audio on a Web page.

  • Make audio start automatically on a Web page.

Embedding Sound Files in Your Web Page

You can embed sound clips directly into your web pages just as if they are images or text. To do so, use the <EMBED> HTML tag, the same way you would use <IMG> tags. For example, to embed a sound file called BELL.WAV into your web page, use the following coding:

<EMBED SRC="BELL.WAV">

For this to work properly, you need to make sure the sound file is present on the web server along with you HTML files. You will also want to specify the height and width of the control box which will allow the viewer to start, stop and replay the sound clip. Thye default settings for the control box are: HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="140". If you add the keyword AUTOSTART="TRUE" (the default is FALSE), your sound clip will automatically play as the browser downloads it. Otherwise, visitors must click on the Play button the control box.

Example of modified HTML coding:

<EMBED SRC="BELL.WAV" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="140" AUTOSTART="TRUE">
