Re: [WSG] Playing a sound file - what is the best way?

[Stevio]

Here is the code I am using at the moment. Please let me know what browsers 
and platforms would have a problem accessing the mp3 file.

<object id="MPlayer6-4" height="69" 
classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95">
         <param name="AutoStart" value="false">
         <param name="AutoSize" value="true">
         <param name="AnimationAtStart" value="true">
         <param name="EnableContextMenu" value="true">
         <param name="filename" value="media/file.mp3">
         <param name="ShowStatusBar" value="true">
         <param name="ShowControls" value="true">
         <param name="ShowPositionControls" value="true">
         <param name="EnableFullScreenControls" value="false">
         <param name="volume" value="-200">
         <embed src="media/file.mp3" autostart="0" audiostream="1" 
showcontrols="1" width="280" height="69" volume="-200" 
type="application/x-mplayer2" showstatusbar="1" 
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/";></embed>
         <div><a href="media/file.mp3" class="bodylink">Listen to 
advert</a></div>
       </object>

Thanks,
Stephen

Does anyone have a link to an online article that shows you how to do this 
in Flash?

Thanks,

I completely agree, use Flash.
I'd say the same for video too, for the same reasons.
Why:
 One solution multiple platforms.
 Saturation on all computers is over 90%. That's more than any browser.
 No platform compatibility issues Mac / PC.
 No browser issues Firefox / IE / Netscape / Opera.
With a single start / stop button in Flash, alongside a link to download 
the file.
