Autoload of local sound file - file resides on our goDaddy server - Music plays automatically only from my Internet Explorer (IE7) browser but not from my Firefox or Netscape browsers
BRUNO - I find autoSOUND feature very QUIRKY - results will vary by user & browser used - work inconsistently even for me!!
[REQUIRES USER's BROWSER TO HAVE an ADD-IN installed, and is NOT RECOMMENED WEB FEATURE] people get upset if they cannot turn sound off so, although it can be hidden, it is best to make the audio control visible.
Helpers in the other hand, work consistently, always initiated by clicking a link:
Example helper Link to a small (0.7k) wma music file: Highway Blues
Another helper Link to a small (0.6k) wma music file:
Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
Example helper Link to a large (24Mb) not pre-loaded mp3 sound file: Physics Lecture
Amother helper Link to a medium (3Mb) not pre-loaded wmv video w/sound file:
Water Fuel
If you do not have a good media player, consider any of the following:
WinAmp,
QuickTime,
WindowsMediaPlayer,
Nero,
RealPlayer,
Adobe Flash Player.
All have the ability to define playlists, repeat
counts (or infinite), Volume Control, Visualize, Pause etc.
all from audio files residing in your hard drive, web server, or list of url's.
