Doing a long overdue upgrade to my web site;
www.blackmtninstruments.com
I want to embed short sound/song snippets (5 - 30 seconds) into various pages which can be triggered by the veiwer.
What's the best way to do this?

I have a registered version of HTML Editor, and a trial version of VSD.

You can use a viewer triggered JavaScript or Flash to play a sound on the page.

Yes, you can have a registered version of HTML Editor, and a trial version of VSD.

You can use the link to document that your sound track or HTML flash. However, the file open; I mean the tool. Your users will leave if they have trouble to listen it for opening with other software.

So, I think the fast and best way, record your sounds by any camcord, webcam or audio corder; you can present it as film (just show the picture with your sound) , you have to use movie maker to prepare the file and upload to Youtube, then embed the player code to your site, therefore everyone can listen it at your site without any dowload program.
Or
Go to Coffee Cup software, find the product called "Web Juke Box", it can makes a player with different sound tracks for everyone listern at your site ; I have one, pretty well. Try the trail let see if it can help U!

Will Web Jukebox do this?

Yes

I got this tip from Bruzer. It works well for a sound snippet, like on my home page.

Hi Tim,
If you go to add files under the settings tab and add your wav or MP3, then using the html tool add the code below changing the MP3 with your music name it should work for you ( I hope)
in the body

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 && document.all)
document.write('<bgsound src="500miles.mp3" loop="1">');
else
document.write('<embed src="500miles.mp3" loop="1" autostart="true" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1">');
// -->
</script>
<noscript>
<bgsound src="500miles.mp3" loop="1">
</noscript>

I still think web jukebox is the best for this, they even come with a no skin option so it looks like its just background music.
