Hi there,
(i dont know if im right in this part of the forum. If anyone can tell me a better place to post, pleas do so)
im working on a simple (html) website for a recordlable, to help selling their tunes online. Everything is finished and works fine so far. But i'd like to add a preview button to each song, that lets the user preview a snippet of the tune.
How can i do this? i've already searched the web for tutorials or help, but with no (for me useful) result. Also, im quite new in webdesign and dont know a lot about programming yet, so i would appreciate an easy to understand (possibly simple) solution .
Hope someone can help me.

Do you want to do this with flash? I think you could probably do it with Javascript, I've never done anything like this myself but a pretty accessible preview button could probably be done with JS. What technology (methodology?) would you like to use?

i dont necessarily want to do it in flash (thats why i wasn't sure where to put the thread) I thought it might be possible to make a flash button, but only because i dont realy know much about other programing/scripting languages.
but thanks for the tip with javascript. i'll check if i can find anything about it on the web.

I think you could do this with flash. Perhaps a simple start/stop functionality with the track embedded in the flash file? Flash is supposed to have good compression too so it could work out quite well.

You can do it in Flash.
It can be done in many ways too. Some more time consuming than the other.

Flash even comes with a mp3 component where all you have to do is tell it the file path.
It's in the components Window.
