Inserting a Sound File
Sounds are either digital or synthesized audio files that a browser with a built-in
player or helper application can play. Visitors can also download helper
applications from sound technology developers and install them in their browsers.
To play sounds, a system must have a sound card and speakers.
NetObjects Fusion supports the following popular audio file formats:
• Windows Wave (.wav) format sound files that play on Windows and the Mac
OS. For the Mac OS, site visitors must have Netscape 3.x or later.
• Audio Interchange File format (.aif) with browser plugins can play on Windows
2000, and XP.
• Musical Instrument Digital Interface (.midi, .mid) can play on almost all types of
operating systems.
• Sun’s .au format is used in Java applets and can play on UNIX based operating
systems.
• RealAudio (.ra, .ram, .rm) can play streaming audio on all systems, requires
RealAudio Web server-resident software, and sometimes includes video. Site
visitors must install the RealAudio player browser plugin.
• Rich Music Format (.rmf) is a sound file format that enhances the use of music
and sound in interactive environments, such as the Web.
