Adding Sounds To Your Web Site With Frontpage Express

Just a reminder note about copyright. This is much the same as site graphics. If you are putting music on your site that you wrote, hold the copyright to (if there is one) and performed that is then that's okay under most countries' and international law (assuming it fulfils international and locally acceptable laws about it contents and lyrics - i.e.. Don't put a song on-line if if against the law to play it in front of an audience). Clearly if you change your entire music collection or a film's audio track into downloadable files and place it on the web without permission from the relevant parties that is illegal and you might well end up being at the wrong end of a legal action. Between this the key is permission, so basically if in doubt don't do it and see about getting permission first (These thing vary from country to country and company to company - so we're not going to bore you to death about it and give potentially false legal info).

Adding sound to a web site can be easy.

However we'd caution your use as sound files can be huge and although you might like Bach on a tin whistle as background music others might not.

However sound can add a great edge to some sites. We now have a new Sounds section in other tutorials that details how to record sound files, sound file types, delivery of sound etc which you might want to check out first. But if you've a sound file and are happy dive in with our frontpage express guide
