Music in HTML

[Master of Reality]

ok i wanna embed a short music clip to have in a web page. Its gonna loop. what is the proper(every browser compatible) way to do this? would it be just using a tag like this?(or is this MSHTML?):

Code: [Select]

...and what program can i use to edit a song to get a short cklip from it? and does it have to be wav to play on most computers through a webpage

your right, but this isnt most pages. You'll never see this page anyway.

Code: [Select]

Your example is probably better as you are using both tags in case a browser doesn't support one.

Your example looks just fine, as for sound editing... i just play the sound with 1 machine and record it with another. using a male to male phono cord connected to the output of one machine and the line in of another. and just start recording when i want that piece.

Better yet:

# apt-get audacity

loop=infinite

you should embed it in the <param> tag.
