Embedding a Song or Sound Clip
Music or sounds can add interest
to your side and provide a little audio stimulation for your visitors. This is a very easy
thing to accomplish, but there are a couple of tricks.
-
For whatever reason,
FrontPage does not "see" MP3 files. MP3s work great for this because
they are compressed and therefore small files that download and play
quickly. I found that renaming the file as a WAV file will work just
fine.
-
Keep your music or sound
selections short. The Brandenburg Concerto is a bad choice
because it is too long. The entire file needs to download before it
will start to play, so keep this in mind.
 Hands
on Practice
-
First, add a folder to your site. Click on the New
Folder icon at the top of the Folder List, and
then rename the Folder to Music.
-
Find a music or sound clip to use.
-
Copy it from your My Documents or
wherever it is located, switch to FrontPage, and paste it into the
Music folder you just created.
-
If it is an MP3, change the file extension from .mp3
to .wav. Click on the plus sign
next to the Music folder to open it, right click
on the music file, choose Rename from the
Context menu, and change it to a WAV file.
|
-
 Now
right click anywhere on the page and choose Page
Properties from the Context menu.
-
The Page Properties dialog will open.
-
Find the Background sound section, and click on
Browse.
-
Browse to the Music folder in your web site's Folder
List, and open the folder.
-
Highlight the music or sound clip you want. It will show up
the the Location window.
-
Please UNCHECK the Forever checkbox, or the
song or sound will repeat continuously. This become annoying
in no time at all.
-
Click OK.
-
To test the music, select the Preview view. Your
music will play, if there are speakers attached to your computer, of
course.
