I want to play an .mp3 sound file on my site but not sure how. I can get an .avi to play, but with no compression the file is too big for my provider. Is there a control that will do this?...or should I contact www.isgeeky.com?

i am using MS Frontpage

well... do try contacting http://www.isgeeky.com

but what is your site all about, anyway... i'm asking coz it'll matter... if you do have a control created by isgeeky, then that definitely limits your audience to windows users...

I wouldn't recommend contacting Isgeeky.com to get a control made in this instance as you would need to pay loads of money to get a software certificate just so that users are able to download the control.

However, Isgeeky.com will produce an MP3 playing movie clip with Flash for you. I'll put a link to it in this post when i've finished it. Just a plain stop/start/pause player.

ahh, found an easier way to get an MP3 to play when the page is loaded, if you want it to be started when a button is pressed just reply to this post. heres the code for it, i'm sure you'll be able to work out the things you can change.

<embed src="track1.mp3" volume=20 autostart=true loop=false hidden=true>

I did some work on trying to make a flash MP3 player but it has a bug in it when you play it from the webpage, you have to press stop then play. The way aove is more compatible anyway because it means the OS can use the default sound output.
