    Sound, Movies and Midis


    35.) MIDI files
    MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A MIDI file is a data file that stores musical notes as digital information, so that the music is playable by computers equipped with MIDI sound cards.

    36.) Embedding MIDI files
    You can embed MIDI music files in your Web page just as you would embed any other file such as a picture, by using a link. The command looks like this: <EMBED SRC="my_midi_file.mid" HIDDEN=TRUE>

    37.) Putting MIDI music on a Web page
    To make a MIDI file play automatically (on browsers like Netscape 3.0 and others, with the proper plug-in) you can take advantage of the <EMBED> tag, like this: <EMBED SRC="my_midi_file.mid" HIDDEN=TRUE AUTOSTART=TRUE>

    38.) Movies
    Once you have a movie file ready, you can link to it like any other file, using a tag: <A HREF="movie.mov">Click here to see a movie!</A> When including a movie, it's a good idea to include a thumbnail, some text showing how big the movie file is, and even a link to a viewer, such as http://www.supernet.net/cwsapps/video.html

    39.) Movie Formats
    Quicktime movies, AVI (Video for Windows) and MPEG are popular for the Web.
