The Howler JavaScript library assists us with adding sound into our web pages. The following video clip shows the very basics of using this framework.
The code sample in this video clip together with the MP3 file I am using can be downloaded at http://www.abelski.com/courses/howler/howlerdemo.zip. The MP3 file was downloaded from http://www.classiccat.net.
