The first step to put up an audio file is to upload it onto your site. You can use your ftp and don't forget the URLs for audio files. The size of your files matters and smaller files work better than larger ones. Midis work better than .wav files and .au files although .au files aren't bad. You can put audio up on your website by linking it to your web pages. Html users have the code to create a link which is more or less:
{a href="xyz.wav"}Text here{/a}
In this example "xyz.wav" is the URL of the audio file that you want to link to your site. "Text here" is something which will show up as the link. You must use instead of {and} when you are actually forming a link through such a code.
Another useful way to add audio is to embed sounds so that a tiny control panel appears on your web page that the visitor can use. Your panel can also give the user the option to turn the sound on/off. Remember that having the sound automatically play will add on to a page's download time. So, automatic sound loads aren't encouraged because browsers prefer fast-opening sites. You can even change the size and volume of your control panel to suit your needs.
There are certain technical attributes that show what kind of audio you have. "autostart="true/false" will determine if the sound will automatically upload. "True" means that the sound will start automatically with the opening of your webpage while false means the flip side. You can use audio on your site in three ways. Audio testimonials can be added with written statements to improve your content's credibility. They're also fun and interesting! Audio greetings that run automatically or play upon clicking make your site creative and personal. An audio version of your guarantee policy or other important content is also a good idea and lends the statements more weight.
When adding sound to your website, apart from all the technical aspects of it, make sure that it's tastefully done and nothing becomes too annoying. After all, you want to keep your visitors happy. Automatic sound uploads slow your site down and can even be annoying to web browsers. Make sure that all sound playing has the option of being turned off. Your sounds or song clips should be relevant to your web content, don't add sound for no reason. If the sounds aren't gelling with content, they'll become as memorable as elevator music. At the same time, you don't want blaring 'too memorable' sounds that practically induce head aches.
