my question is does FP 2000 support....

mp3? I know it supports wav, but it takes to long to download with the
page. I would think an mp3 file would be smaller

This depends on the capabilities of the visitor's computer, and not on the
capabilities of FrontPage.

FrontPage will create a link that sends the mp3 file. The question is
whether the visitor's computer can play an mp3 file. These days, most
probably can, but who knows for sure?

The FP 2000 will not recognize mp3.....it just wants to see wav, mid, ram,
ra, aif, or au files. I tried to use the program by using "all files" and
upload to the server. But it will not do it. Any suggestions? As I said the
wav file is too large. it works but takes for ever to download to listen to
it while on the web page
Thanks

FrontPage does, but does the server??

The server needs to have .mp3 set as a mime type.

Check with your host, or set it yourself if your host is using Apache/UNIX with CPanel

Where are you? Page. Properties, General, Background Sound, Location?

If so, just hand-type the name of your file. If you're not sure of the path,
browse and select another file in the same folder as your mp3, then overtype
the filename portion.

Jim .... here is what the server people said.

You will have to embed the .mp3 file. If you just upload an .mp3 file
without embedding, it will ask for downloading the .mp3 file.

The HTML code for embedding files is "<embed width="128" height="128" src="
the path of the file"> (filename.mp3 is of your choice).

You have to include the above code with in the body tag Zbody>
</body>of the HTML code of your webpage while uploading through FrontPage
2000.

The .mp3 file should be uploaded to the root of your account before
embedding the path of the file (http://xxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/.mp3file) between
the HTML tags.

I would say your host can't speak English, can't write it, or both.

There's no such thing as uploading an .mp3 file with or without embedding.

As to whether the download dialog box appears for an .mp3 file, this is a
function of the MIME type configured for .mp3 files on the Web server, and
what program (if any) on the visitor's PC is configured to handle that MIME
type or the .mp3 filename file extension
The HTML code for embedding files is "<embed width="128" height="128" src="
the path of the file"> (filename.mp3 is of your choice).

the HTML tags.

There's no special reason to store .mp3 files in the root folder. In fact,
I'd recommend storing them in a logically-named folder such as /music/ or
/mp3/.

Did you tru my previous suggestion? What happened?
