Adding Streaming Audio In E-mail

[andrew82]

Need some help here... I'm trying to embed audio into e-mail either by embedding it in the background (using Outlook Express) but this only will accept WAV or Midi, would prefer to do it with MP3 but this is not supported (even though MS publish it is, their helpdesk say otherwise!). So a different way I have tried is with streaming audio in using ActiveX. All works happy if the receiver has their security zone to 'Internet Zone', if they have it set to 'Restricted sites' (which I think is the MS default), it does not work.

Any ideas on this? I've looked into getting it signed so that the code is accepted if trusted but I'm not sure of the process of getting the code into a cab file, as I am not a huge coder and have blagged my way so far to this point!!

A few pointers, I am looking for audio to start with no interaction and no visibility.

Please help me!! My mind is boggled!!

Hope this all makes sense, feel free to send any further questions

Cheers, Andrew.

This is an easy system for adding streaming audio to blogs, websites or html email... check this out: http://www.flashaudiostream.com

It's a one-time $24.95 purchase and you can use it for as many streams as you want, no recurring charges - just download the files, modify the html to point to your audio file and upload the files to your server. There's also a deal where if you link back to them, they'll give you a $5 refund making it $19.95.

Thanks,

Josh

This still uses the <object> tag and this is causing problems with Outlook security settings. I'm looking for a way around this if anyone knows one?

So close yet so far....
