Hi All,
Is it possible to attach audio to a hub? If not, why not? Do you think it would be fun? I know this is about the written word but music is a valid subject and occasionally it comes with examples.
Thanks
Peter
Not directly at the moment. But there is a roundabout way! http://hubpages.com/hub/Hi__how_do_I_wo … n_hubpages
Best Regards
SunSeven has it down--easiest way is to take some music you like, clip it, and throw it into a video with a static background on YouTube.
Sounds painful, but it's truly not.
Thank you SunSeven - for the advice and the leads. Never say something's impossible.

If you are looking at automatically playing audio, most people agree it generally drives people away from a website.
Youtube is a good medium though that can be used to provide optional audio and visual media.
Hi,
I was just looking to stick a song in a hub to illustate a point and make people laugh. Would that drive them away?

If it does not play automatically. (but if you go the youtube way I guess it will be alright)
If music auto-plays when you open a website, it tends to drive people away.
Part of the reason is that a lot of people browse at work and don't want others to know they're doing it!
Thanks for that Marisa but that wasn't my intention.
'People browse at work'??!! Outrageous! No wonder we've recently experienced a global meltdown. Can you imagine the headlines if news got out: HUBS CAUSE WHEELS TO COME OFF. (Maybe it's just another Toyota thing.

This probably isn't a bug, but it's annoying and I wish Hubpages wouldn't do it. There is an ad which plays sound appearing on some of my hubs. I think it's a cricket ad with the sound of a bat hitting a ball, and a crowd cheering. The ad is also one which appears right at the bottom of the page,...

I would like ot suggest that you ad an audio capsule for poery or short story hubs. There could be a button that says something like "click to hear the author read this poem/story" behind which we could ad an mp3 or other audio file. This might make the hub more enjoyable for the...

I noticed yesterday that the videos I am posting from You tube have no sound. It is not my computer because other sites have plenty of sound.

It would be great if all hubs would also be automatically podcasted, and also automatically turned into videos (those machinelike male and female voices). This would give both our hubs and hubpages more channels of exposure. The videos also would then be available for download, so hubbers could...
