Embed an audio clip into a web page

The HTML snippet below works at least on IE6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.6.

It prepares an audio clip to play and uses a Real Player or Windows Media Player depending on your installation. BTW: Personally, I think Real Player is the last crap you ever should consider to download but interesting stuff might be available on Real Media only. I recommend the Real alternative «Real Player Classic» which works perfectly and has no crappy spyware. The «real» Real Player will steal your PC resources and furthermore is unstable!

<embed type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"
	src="http://rss.infocopter.com/looney_toons.mp3"
	loop="0" autostart="false" volume="70" height="50" width="300">
</embed>

Note: type audio/x-ms-wma works as well but then, autostart="false" does not work on Firefox.

Tip(s)

• On Firefox, type about:plugins at the URL bar to get a list of installed plugins and configured MIME types.
