In this tutorial we will show you how to add music into your website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3.
Including a nice sound into your website can make it more attractive.
First you will need to select a sound (the most common sound formats are Mp3, Wav and Midi.
I will select a wav format sound called: "Tambor.wav"
To insert an audio file into a document you must go to the Main Menu and select: Insert/Media/Plugin
The Select File window will pop up.
Select the file you need, in this case "tambor.wav"
As soon as you select the file, press OK.
An icon, representing the Audio File will appear on the page:
You can play it by clicking the Play control, at the Properties Panel:
You can also establish the Width and Height of your Audio Control.
Go to the Properties Inspector and select the width and height of your audio control as shown below:
Remember that you need to press the PLAY button to listen to the sound:
In case you want to play music in your website by hiding the audio controls, you must write this code directly in the code view:
<bgsound src="song1.wav" loop="-1">
Insert after the label < /title>
With the loop parameter you can choose how many times you want to reproduce the sound, for example: 1, 2, etc.
Its easy, enjoy!!
