Hi All,

Have you guys checked out VoiceBlast.com? It makes it very easy for you to add voice or audio clips to any web page. Simply speak into your telephone or a microphone, and VoiceBlast will supply you with a URL and HTML code that you copy and paste into your web page or email.

You can use VoiceBlast for auctions, emails, message boards, classifieds, or personal web pages. Check it out at http://www.voiceblast.com/venable.asp?t=81 .

Also listen to the sample VoiceBlast I've created for this e-mail:

Thanks,
Matt

Well, it’s more of an advertisement then a design or graphics tip. But I’ll elaborate on it, I’ve never used the service so I can’t comment on quality or features, but I’d personally suggest using RealAudio or another streaming audio format if anyone’s interested in adding on demand high quality sound to a web page.

RealAudio and Microsoft both provide free editing and encoding tools, plus it’s just so much more fun to do it yourself

You can get RealAudio’s free RealProducer 7.0 from http://proforma.real.com/rn/tools/producer/

You can listen to it in RealAudio, but the default is Windows Media Player. There is a small drop-down box where you can choose between the two...

    Justin,

    Don't agree with you as far as Real Audio is concerned. It is too much hassle to set up for just a simple sound file. There is nothing more I hate than clicking on an audio or a video file and having real audio kicking in and asking me if I want to download heaps of plugins and messing around with all the extensions on my machine. Also Everytime you log onto the net Real audio wants to download something. It is just an audio file so why the hassle?
