Embed Music in Slide Show

[BobbaBuoy]

I have a site that allows users to create their own slide shows and I want them to be able to embed music that starts automatically (and, hence, needs no controls). I want them to be able to upload a file (that I will store the link to in a db) so that when their slide show starts the music starts automatically. Here are my questions:

1) Is there a preferred file type (*.wav for instance)?
2) What is the best way (html) to embed that music.

Thanks~

Hi

1) Is there a preferred file type (*.wav for instance)?

Certainly not .wav because those are huge. I would say, preferable is .mid, although the technology changed since then...

Someone will answer question 2) too. I do not. I hate documents with music.

This site should tell you all about how to do what you're trying to do:

Hi

Note that if you want continuous music during multiple pages, you will have to use some kind of frames, which to not refresh together with the content.
