Adding Audio to a Page

[Marje]

I did a search in the forums on adding audio with Contribute, and could not
find a definitive answer. What's the best way to add audio to a page using
Contribute. FYI - My client has Contribute 3 now but will soon be upgrading to
Contribute 4.

It depends on what your needs are, if you want a audio clip to be embedded into
the site, and have it auto play without the user controling it, you may want to
add it as a Flash file (SWF,FLV) . **Be aware of any licensing or royalty
rights that is reserved by the artist you are uploading.

Contribute supports this file type as well as Quicktime and Windows Media
player. The site visitors need to have the audio player to be installed for
each feature to work, hence the portability of using Flash, since most browsers
are loaded with it. Your other option, if you are using Contribute 4 and blogs
is to use the enclosure feature. - you can link to a podcast - if your file is
as large as 75Mb you may want to try this.

Contribute does not have any built in audio editing features - and only uses
the supported media files. However you can try out Adobe's Soundbooth beta
software [url]http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/soundbooth[/url]
