Embedding a Windows Media format file

We are embedding a Windows Media file into the web page and setting the parameters for the player to display at 200x40.

Interestingly enough for a wma file format, in Mozilla's FireFox browser and Netscape 7.2, the autostart parameter doesn't work. It starts playing the audio clip automatically anyway. In IE, it will not start playing until the user clicks on the play button. But using an MP3 format fixes this problem and the file size is about a small as you can get with decent quality.

Embedding an MP3 format file

We are embedding an MP3 file into the web page and set the parameters for the player to display at 300x45. Notice the difference in the size and look of the player controls. Setting the width at 300 allows the volume control button to be displayed, giving your user even more control over the experience.

Is there any different in the quality of the audio file? Both file are about 4.5 Mgs in size.
