Hi ,

I've seen the simple audio files that some have added to their sites (not as popular now, but I need some recommendations on how to create an audio file to add to my site? Do I need any special equipment? What software is the easiest and cheapest?

I'd be grateful!

    What type of audio file are you referring to - music, voice or something else?

    If you record someone speaking, you can edit it with the free program Audacity and export it for the web. Coding it for a site is not difficult, but there are different settings depending on what you are doing.

    Here is the link to Audacity: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

    You will need to get the Lame encoder as well: Lame MP3 Encoder Binaries

    Good luck!

      Could you please elaborate if you want to know how to create audo files (music, voice over) or how to embed them on your web page complete with a audio player?

        Thank you both for the help, I want to play speech not music.
        I found audacity before finding your replies.
        It doesn't seem that they offer the player/buttons like impactwebaudio does, am I wrong?

        Where can I find a free player/buttons...don't know the proper term for it other than calling it the pretty wrapper

        Thanks again,
