I would use Flash to play the audio and provide an alternative link to
the sound file as alternative content

I have a sound file that my client wants me to put on his web site. It
is a radio advert that they currently have running.
The format of the file is m4a (mp4). I have used a program that
converts it to mp3 or other formats if required.
What is the best way to go about including it on a web page, and
keeping it standards compliant (to at least HTML 4.01 Transitional)?
Including sound files is not something I often do, you'll be glad to
know. I will also NOT be setting it to start playing itself, it will
be up to the user!
Should I keep it in the m4a format or use mp3 or use something else?
I got it working with the following code:
<object width="160" height="16"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab";>
<param name="src" value="media/advert.mp4">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="media/advert.mp4" width="160" height="16" autoplay="false"
controller="false"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/";>
</object>
However, it doesn't work in Firefox. I need something that will work
in different browsers and different platforms.
Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Stephen
