Adding sound to a page

There are several different types of sound files and formats, and several different ways to add sound to a Web page. Some factors to consider before deciding on a format and method for adding sound are its purpose, your audience, file size, sound quality, and differences in browsers.

Note: Sound files are handled very differently and inconsistently by different browsers. You may want to save sound files as SWFs to improve consistency.
