How to Embed iTunes Sound Clips

You can embed iTunes files on the Web using HTML code.

With HyperText Markup Language, better known as HTML, Web designers can integrate media elements with their Webpage layouts. For example, you can use the "embed" HTML command to add music files from the iTunes program to your website and give visitors the ability to play the audio clip through their browser. Before publishing an iTunes sound clip on the Internet, make sure you have legal permission to host the audio file.

Things You'll Need

• PC or Mac computer
• Web editing application

Instructions

1. Upload the desired iTunes sound clip file to your active Web server.

2. Launch a Web editing application such as Adobe Dreamweaver or a basic word processor such as Microsoft Word.

3. Open the HTML file for the page on which you want to embed the iTunes sound clip.

4. Place your text cursor in the section of the HTML code where you wish to place the audio element.

5. Type "<embed src="soundclip.mp3" width="216" height="16"></embed>" into the HTML code.

6. Replace "soundclip.mp3" in the HTML code with the exact file name of the iTunes clip you want to embed. You can also change the width to suit your layout.

7. Save the changes to the HTML code and upload the file to your Web server.
