How can a person add audio files to their web sites? There are ways to go about it but it does require that you have some knowledge on how to build a web site. First time users however will not understand it right away and that's understandable. However, for this purpose right here, I'm going to explain it by using the HTML coding method in order to best serve the purpose in the easiest way possible.

To understand how it works in HTML, you must know how to put together a hyperlink. If you know how to do that, all you need to do is just put down the address and do it like this: <a href=""></a> and put the name of the title in it and that's how you do it for that respect.

However, there is a way to have the file embedded into your web site and have it play. It takes some simple skill and nothing over the top. You would need to know the embed tag actually in HTML. What that does however is just not go with audio but also video as well. It could be utilized that way as well. Embedding files really can be really easy or really hard. It really depends upon your skill in the level of HTML. For validation purposes, this is what it is supposed to look like: <embed src="" autostart="false" hidden="false"></embed>. The autostart and hidden areas are actually the only values that need to have true or false. Most commonly, it would be used for .mp3 as far as audio files go but it can work with other audio formats though.

What you got was not only learning about audio but also video as well. Embedding can be a great tool if your intention is to make your web site a bit interactive to a degree. It is really not as hard as you would think once you have a great understanding on how it works.

There is a program called Dreamweaver that you could use that could preview the page while working on it. Coding and designing actually in this case go together like bread and butter. There is a program that goes to being specifics on just seeing the coding only in CSE HTML Validator. For that program, just go to tags and go to media embedding and find what you are looking for tag wise. It does help as a tool as well.

It's really not as hard as you would think. Just take your time and experiment and find the right sound you want and go from there. This should also help for video purposes as well.
