About adding sounds

Sounds can add another dimension to your Microsoft FrontPage Web site. For example, if your company has an audio jingle, you can add it to the home page of your Web site and configure it to play when a site visitor browses to it.

With FrontPage, you can embed an audio file and set properties to play when site visitors open the page. You can set the properties to play the sound file continuously, or to play it a specified number of times. Another way to add sound to your Web page is to provide a hyperlink to the audio file from your page and let site visitors decide if they want to play the sound. When site visitors click that link, the appropriate audio player opens and plays the sound file.

You can add many types of audio file to your Web page, including the following:

• Wave files (*.wav)
• Midi sequencer files (*.mid)
• RealAudio files (*.ram; *.ra)
• AIFF sound files (*.aif; *.aifc; *.aiff)
• AU sound files (*.au; *.snd)
• Moving Picture Experts Group (*.mpeg), MPEG Audio-Layer 3 files (*.mp3)
• Microsoft Active Streaming files (.*asf)
