Using Audio

1. Burn your audio to a CD. .

2. Run your CD through a program such as Cdex to rip it into a .wav or .mp3 file.

3. Take the .wav file into the Real Producer (found at real.com) and encode your file to a .rm file. 

4. Make a .txt file and put one line of type in it such as: http://www.yourdomainname.com/myaudio.rm - then rename this .txt file to a .ram file. 

5. FTP your .rm & .ram files to the server.

6. Link your .ram file from your web site and it will call the .rm file.

The above will provide your web page with a clickable link where your client will be able to listen to your audio that you have stored on the server.

MIDI Information

Information on embedding sound on your web page

Netscape:
<embed src="song.mid" WIDTH=145 HEIGHT=60 autostart=true loop=true> 

If you just want the play and stop buttons to show, use the code like this:

<EMBED align=right SRC="song.mid" autostart=true loop=true width=51 height=15 controls=smallconsole> 

Or, you can even hide the console altogether with code like this:

<EMBED SRC="song.mid" hidden=true autostart=true loop=true> 

Internet explorer:
<BGSOUND SRC="song.mid" loop=1>
