This page shows the various methods for adding a sound file to you auction. Video files may be similarly added.
Adding Sound to your Auction
Many users don't like the distraction or download-time associated
with music in an auction and may hit the back button. However, there
are many instances where music or sound is an integral part of the
product being sold. These include illustrating the sound of a
music box, vinyl record, running engine, and such.
Capture your sound and save to a file, using the media software that
came with your geputer. Be sure the sound clip is short and the file
is small. If the sound is to autostart with the auction, it should be
under 40K, otherwise it may not load in time and could lock up your
listing for some viewers. Midi files are the smallest sound files.
If you need to supply a larger file, then put it on a clickable link or
use a start button so that the buyer can start the download when they
are ready to do so. This is a courtesy to the 30-40% of dialup users
who might find their machines tied up for 5 minutes or more waiting for
a megabyte download.
Sound files must be
hosted online to be used in an auction. They can be hosted on your website, on a
file host, or on some image hosts.
All of these methods have been approved by okay for SOUND CLIPS ONLY.
