A short answer to a long question.
I strongly recommend you ditch the requirement for an
Apple Quicktime plugin (which I, amongst many, refuse
to install) and instead adopt the HTML 5 <audio> element.
Whilst there are many reasons for /not/ adopting HTML 5
in its entirety in its present unratified state, the
<audio> element is not one of them, and offers browser
independence with no need for a plugin.

Actually, my question is a simple one despite all the long sentences. I
am a creative writer, sorry.
I am embarrassed to say that I don't know anything about HTML 5 or any
other of the newer web page technologies that evolved after 15 years ago
when our project was created with the Netscape Composer and then
Microsoft FrontPage.
As I said, we are not IT professionals or prgrammers. Is HTML 5 backward
compatible with HTML? For the reasons already given, there is no way
that we could possibly ditch what we have, start over, and/or upgrade
our entire site.
In any case, browser independence sounds really good. Unfortunately, I
did a quick search for the "HTML 5 <audio> element" you mentioned, and
see that it does not work with MIDI or WAV sound files. Any other
suggestions?
Thanks,
Marisa
