the embedded WAV tag is a simpler/cleaner/open-source solution over the SWF method
I do believe .WAV is a microsoft proprietary format, but let's not split hairs :) <http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000001.shtml> mentions that there are no patent encumbrances with .WAV files. We could go for a .OGG file if you want to keep things strictly open, but I doubt MS/InternetExplorer will be supporting that anytime soon. Be aware that this format is uncompressed. A four minute song would take about 35 MB to store in .WAV format. For the purposes of an alert sound, I would like to know how big the .WAV file will be. Any takers? cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. -- Jimi Hendrix
