I want to get a recording made of a client singing, and put it onto their website. Perhaps have a “Listen to Demo” button where the user clicks to hear the demo.

Be very grateful if anybody has any recommendations about the best way to do this. Is there any particular format in which the recording should be made? What’s the best way to go about putting it onto the site?

Very grateful for any help.

would try a flash audio player, but could simply use html embed tag.

If you want to be able to hide the location of the file or prevent people from easily downloading the file, then Im not too sure as I have very little experience with audio / video on the web.

Some Links:

JW MP3 Player

stick it in flash and they can't download it ...

upload an mp3 with a link to the file and they can download it ...

someone could download the flash file and uncompile it if they really wanted to couldnt they ?

weldo · 21-06-2007, 09:48

well yeah ... maybe ... i guess ...
but its gotta be harder/more time consuming than just right clicking a link ...

Downloadable mp3 with the promise of more and they'll be back.

only if its good !!

I'm assuming as its only a demo, downloading it won't be a problem, in fact it might be desirable.

XSPF Web Music Player (Flash) - Plays MP3 on your website

This should help.

Thank-you very much everyone for all your help

You' re right Dusteh, downloading isn't really a problem on this site.

Like the look of JW mp3 player, and also XSPF Music Player.
