embedded object

I had embedded a player on my page and it played fine. It was used by Quick Time. Then I installed Real Player and I can't get the song to play. I don't know what language to change or where to go to make it use real player. Thank you.

Re: embedded object

The URL of the music would seem to be:
http://vogv.bravehost.com/C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\VOGV\MY SON.wav"

Since there is no folder on your site named /C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\VOGV\, that is absolute nonsense. If it ever worked, you must have changed the coding since then, and Real Player is not to blame.

By the way, if you intend to play .wav music on the page, I hope for your sake, and for that of your visitors, that it is a very, very brief piece of music - one or two bars, perhaps.

Re: embedded object

Thanks for the reply. You're probably right. I will check the url. Also, the player has a stop button in case noone wants to listen to the song. Perhaps just maybe someone might like it and decide to listen to the end.

Thanks again.

Re: embedded object

Well, yes. Music on web pages is an absolute nuisance. If your visitors share your taste in music and feel like listening to music while visiting your website, then they are probably already playing something similar on the CD-player "embedded" in their computer.

But while you may quite correctly have perceived an undertone of my feelings about this, the point I was trying to make was something else:

.wav files will usually be huge compared with other sound formats. Your visitors may stop the music if they do not like what they downloaded. But visitors with slow connections may have gone elsewhere long before that.

Remember that even "unlimited" broadband deals are actually capped. You owe it to your visitors not to use an inappropriate file format that uses their bandwidth unnecessarily.
