Simplified here is his coding for this just add in your audio in place you can simply create a video file upload it to youtube and then add the link to this coding or you can host the audio file your self and add it to the coding below

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" width=80 height=27 align="absmiddle">
<param name=movie value="mp3ss63f.swf">
<param name=quality value=best>
<param name=wmode value=transparent>
<param name=bgcolor value=#FFFFFF>
<param name=loop value=true>
<embed src="mp3ss63f.swf" quality=best wmode=transparent bgcolor=#FFFFFF loop=true width=80 height=27 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" align="absmiddle">

Thanks petervamp that is a start!

However im still kind of confused on how to do the whole tihng. Perhaps i should be more specific with what i want to achieve.

I need to know which program is good for recording audio?

What is the best source to upload it to in order to ensure quality and compression?

How do i intergrate my audio recording into a fancy recorder with play stop and pause buttons?


If anyone is an expert at audio can you please help me


Thank you

The fastest, easiest way to add audio to your site is with Audio Acrobat. You can find their site here:

AudioAcrobat.com: Audio for everyone!

It's very simple and easy to use and the fee is VERY reasonable. It's just $20/month and allows you to post audio to your site and record and publish podcasts as well as videos.

You simply call in your message by phone. Audio Acrobat hosts the audio file on their servers and gives you the code for the play/pause/stop buttons to paste onto your site. You can choose the shape and colors of the buttons too. (And personally, I think Audio Acrobat's buttons are a LOT more attractive than the ones on the scrapbooking site you mentioned!)

Very simple and hassle-free. I was very happy when I used them.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
