Putting music (mp3) on Publisher 2003 website

[Mick Reid]

Hi.
I have a website created in Publisher 2003 that I want to put mp3 samples of my music on. I don't want background music, I want the viewer to have the 'click to play' option. I have searched high & low for a detailed (& hopefully simple) method of doing this to no avail. So I've ended up here looking for help.

Things I've tried so far:
I tried using hyperlinks, which worked fine in Publisher preview, but when I published the site to the web the music isn't there.

I tried uploading the music files onto the server and putting hyperlinks to the server file in the document. Still no luck.

I've read about embedding, but I can't seem to embed the music files as objects through the insert command (even as wav).

If someone can PLEASE help, I getting very frustrated with trying to do this.
I would prefer mp3 due to file size, but if it has to wav I'll deal with it.

Thanks

Here are two recent posts from Spike that might help:

Here is one method I have found that work:

Insert html fragment:

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="mymovie.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>


Also you can upload the video to the server and create a hyperlink to the
file and each user can download it to their computer and play it.

Here is another method:
The program produces a shockwave file from a video file and the code to
paste into publisher (html fragment) where you want the video to be seen.

Good luck.

Oh and by the way, if none of the above helps you figure out how to embed a
media player to play your mp3 files, you might go back to just uploading the
files to your site and providing links to the viewer to download and play
them on the media players they have on their local computers. mp3 files can
be pretty large and this option might be the best. To review how to do this
read the following article to figure out where you went wrong with trying to
do this before:
