Audio on the Web
Until now, there has not been a standard for playing audio files on a web page.
Today, most audio
files are played through a plug-in (like flash). However, different browsers may
have different plug-ins.
HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed an audio
file on a web page:
the <audio>
element.
How It Works
To play an audio file in HTML5, this is all you need:
Example
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
<source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
The control attribute adds audio controls, like play, pause, and volume.
You should also insert text content between the <audio> and </audio> tags for browsers that do not support the <audio> element.
The <audio> element allows multiple <source> elements. <source> elements can link to different audio files. The browser will use the first recognized format.
