I can find no reference within FrontPage to placing
downloadable mp3 or other music files within a web page.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible and where I can find
help on the subject?

Many thanks.
 
use the <body> tag like <body bgsound="yourfile.mp3">
that's for Internet Explorer,

<embed="yourfile.mp3"> is the netscape equivalent.

Put them both in your html code.

Through the Frontpage GUI, go to page properties, background, then under the
"general" tab there is the field for background sound - but this is only the IE
method - if you have your "compatibility" set to anything except internet
explorer or custom, this option is unavailable, but you can still put the code in
code view.
 
further to this post if you click help and search "background sound" then it
comes up with the help file for just that - what do you mean there was no
reference to adding a background sound? Search "background sound" (not
necessarily music - any sound files - a more generalised search - you were
probably too specific.
 
Yes. Create a folder called Media under your main web
folder. Copy/paste the MP3 file that folder. Then put a
text link to the MP3 on a page of your site.

However, MP3s longer than a minute or so take a long time
to download for all but the fastest connections. Use a
music editor such as CoolEdit or ProTools to Save As the
MP3 to a smaller file size. Also, many people post an
alternate streaming version that loads more quickly. I
use RealProducer to make these RM files, store them in
the same Media folder with the MP3s, and put links to
each alternate version next to the link to the MP3.

Here are two how-to sites on streaming. One is mostly
about video but read on for the audio part.
