I'm setting set up a web site for a small music company, so I'd like
to know how to do this when you believe your audience *will* wait
for the download.
My client probably will opt for a clickable link (I know how to do that)
to play a less-than-one-minute excerpt of a musical selection, instead of
automatically loading a long aural piece. Perhaps Peter or someone
could comment on the pros and cons of using .mp3 vs. .wav or other
audio formats -- and the players they require.
My web page will have to work on all major platforms of course. Seems
that this should be akin to using PDFs with a link to the Acrobat download
for formatted text files?
I thought something similar was discussed a couple of months ago,
but my archive search didn't turn up anything relevant.
