I would like to embed sound (mp3 prefferred) in HTML code where the
user would click on a button and hear the sound without launching a
media player. Anyone know how this is possible?

Thanks

Impossible. You have no way of knowing what sort of player (if any) is
on the end user's system and what wil lbe used ot playback mp3. They
(the players) are legion, and they all have their own way of interacting
with user agents.

Why not do the old-fashioned, yet reliable, method of simply offering
the file to download?

Hi Peter. I wanted to port an existing app to PocketPC and just wanted
to use html as the 'engine' to cut down on package size. Doesn't seem
possible with pure HTML. Thanks.
