You really need to be using FrontPage. Pub is okay for small sites that
don't include a lot of bells and whistles but you'll be much happier using a program that was developed for website design. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Kevin" wrote in message ... Thank you again to those who took the time to respond. I agree with each of you that unwanted or unrequested music on a website is annoying and a turn off. I have not made my intention clear. Visitors to this site will actually be looking for the audio that will support photographs also on the site. My experience to date with attaching the audio file within Publisher caused a problem with my hosting company which did not fully support Publisher. I then tried making a link to the audio which worked but at that point I have learned that I am at the mercy of the media player and settings on the visitors computer. It has already been proven in my tests that I can't rely on a potential visitor to have the proper player settings or know how to get there. One potential client was turned off because it was too long before the audio on a test site done in Publisher would play. What I believe I was looking for was the ability to show a media player control (play, pause, stop etc.) that I have seen on other sites so the visitor could launch the audio at will and not have to wait for the entire file to load before playing. From what I can pick out from the comments posted is that Publisher can't get me where I need to be, FrontPage (or next version) might work, and learning HTML will get me where I need to be. Thank you again to those who took time to respond. Please understand that editorializing and short unhelpful answers are not very useful. Take care all. God Bless. "Kevin" wrote: Good Day. I wish to use Publisher for a website that contains pictures and an MP3 or other format audio file. I also wish for the audio to begin streaming without being at the mercy of the visitors media player settings. Using a media player control play button on the site would work but the audio needs to begin playing immediately rather than waiting for the entire audio file to download. Is this possible with Publisher? Is this possible with FrontPage? I read where FrontPage will be discontinued soon, other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Kevin Selle |

I am currently working on a website for a non profit group. I would like to
add an audio player and allow the users to sample snipets of songs. I have done the website in publisher 2003 but will be converting to Front Page. I would like to add the player in publisher before I convert. Any advice. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: You really need to be using FrontPage.
