Web page back ground music?

please bear with me, I%26#039;m trying to add background music to a web page, I%26#039;m learning as I go, I have an html code but requires a .wav file which is all good but I%26#039;m pretty sure I need to upload this .wav to some audio hosting site but any free sites I come across is saying upload time 1-5 minutes for every 1MB and maxes out at 20MB and this audio file I need to use, in a .wav format is 35MB. is there another way to do this? I%26#039;d appreciate any help I can get.

You can compress the wav to an mp3 but leave the wav header intact. This is acceptable and usually works. But there is no way I would visit a site that is going to want to transfer that amount of data to my machine, even if it was an mp3. I would suggest using MIDI tunes for background music instead.

you do not need to use .wav. modern web clients will play mp3 thru one plugin or another. re-encode the .wav to 64kbit mp3. this should cut the file size by at least 90% ut probably much more (so about 3.5mb max now). you do not need a special audio hosting service.

now the html code can be one of 2 options:

1) embed

%26lt;embed src=%26quot;my_audio_file.mp3%26quot; autostart=true width=144 height=60%26gt;

i like this one better since the user can stop and restart the music/whatever whenever they want to.

2) bgsound

%26lt;bgsound src=%26quot;my_audio_file.mp3%26quot; loop=%26quot;1%26quot;%26gt;

this one can not be stopped/restarted by the user. loop=0 will make it play forever.

best of luck :-)
