Playback of audio files in Xara Web Design

I need to list multiple audio files for playback on a Xara website. Can I install an audio player or should I simply have a list of track names with links? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum

. . . . Can I install an audio player or should I simply have a list of track names with links? . . .

You need to take in consideration:

  • the nature of the audio file content ie is it acceptable for all ages or age restricted.
  • Copyright law
  • where they are hosted, ie on your own web site hosting or using a third party eg SoundCloud, YouTube etc. There are Widgets for doing this available in the Online Design Gallery.

The most basic form would be is a list of track names with links to the audio files, however this does depend on the viewers web browser supporting the file format if they are hosted on yur web space they should be mp3's as this is the most universal format.

Note if you use Youtube, Vimeo etc to host the files they require the audio to be in a mp4 video file.

John, I think you misunderstood Seoman. We are aware of the legalities and youtube. That is not the question. I am also looking to add multiple audio tracks to a single page (without a link) and i cant seem to figure out how to without issues. I import 1 song to a page and the internal player works perfect. I import another song and only the new song plays back and the first song i imported does nothing. Do i need to import a player for multiple songs?

Since you have also posted this as a new thread I am going to close this thread.
