WORKING ON MULTIMEDIA

Audio
If you are going to use background sound or music in your web page, think carefully about how well it
goes with content and whether or not it would be reasonable for the user to hear it every time he or she
goes to view your page. Also, keep in mind that audio files may require plug-ins.
Note: Plug-ins are programs available on the Internet which augment the capabilities of certain software
like the browser. By itself, your browser will not be able to play multimedia files, but it can through the
use of a plug-in. New browsers come installed with many plug-ins, but if an unfamiliar media type is
encountered , a dialog box will usually pop up asking if you would like to download the plug-in.

Sound files can be large and load slowly, although the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) format
is an exception. MIDIs, which have the file extension .mid or .midi, are very small sound files, in contrast
to the hugely popular MP3s. The downside of MIDI is that this cannot play sounds, only notes; in non
professional terms, an MIDI cannot store songs, only tunes.
