Audio on Site

[Lewie09]

I'm new to WHB and was a bit disappointed when I found out I cannot have audio play on page load. Does anyone have an idea of where I can place audio files that I can embed (like YouTube) on the site?

Thanks!

You could upload the audio files to YouTube, and then embed those streams into your site here. Thus, a visitor to your site here could hear the audio, but the audio files would actually stream from YouTube so that you wouldn't violate the terms here.

Our policies are a lot more lax on VPS etc, where no encoding/decoding CPU load can affect other customers.

I had a quick question about this: if we can push the decoding off to the client (browser), and keep the audio under 500 kB, is it then acceptable to embed it in our pages on the shared/reseller hosting plans?

Sure, that should be acceptable.
