| 28633 | 2001-12-26 09:58:00 | Do I need a type of program to do this or do I insert HTML, Javascript or any other language into the site to play it when the page loads. Or do I have to convert the MP3 into a format that can be played on websites? | Guest (0) | ||

Trouble with mp3s is that they are about 3Mb or more. How many visitors wait that long for it to download? Also, do you have enough room on your host site to store these files? |

Mind you, the previous comment has the same questions I would ask regarding server size allowance, etc. Jonathan Giles |
