| Office Live Including Sounds Updated "I'm Constructing" Adding sound to your site can be essential for some things. It's generally not a good idea to force your visitors to listen to music when they arrive at your page. The "autoplay" function should be set to false. Give them the right to decide. The MP3 compression format is the standard for web pages. I generally embed with the Quicktime player. File size is an issue for sound files and converting your files to MP3 is a good idea. If you have iTunes you can convert the AIFF files to MP3. |  |
