I am using Open Office to create text for clickbank promotion. Can I embed a wav file that I created into my website to help promote a piano lesson product. When a prespective customer clicks on the link and is brought to my website, music that have embeded will play.
You can. The method depends on what you;re running for this 'website'. Is it a CMS of some sort? Please remember specifics always help. Have to admit though that being forced to listen to your music, especially being in a quiet library, will not go over well with me as a possible client.
You may be right about music playing in library but this is a PIANO LESSON PROMOTION in CB. You could be right about not having any music playing - it could serve as distraction. I am not sure if it would work?
I don not recommend embedding a wav file, as this format is not a compressed one, so the file size will be quite large, and therefore the page will load very slowly. A good solution is mp3. But that still is not the best solution. I think the best solution is embedding a flash file that plays the track/sound, because flash compresses the sound so that the load time of the page will be decent.
Indeed, Flash won the media web embedding standard a long time ago. Any video or audio should be played through Flash. JWPlayer. It's the best I've used. longtailvideo.com
I've NEVER visited a website with music or sound effects playing and enjoyed the experience! I immediately reach for the volume control before even knowing whether the music/sound is going to be beneficial to me, it's just habit to turn it down. Consequently, the chances of me staying with the site are diminished! I know it is a music orientated site but I'd still be careful and think hard about this "feature" Just my thoughts for your consideration! Regards
