Audio in epub book.
I published a children's picture book last year. Now, I have converted into
an ebook for PC's. I have an epub version. But, I can not find a way using Html code, to play audio. I have a page with a cow that says Moo when the page is displayed. I used the tag "bgsound" and "embed" in the PC version. Does anyone know how code in html audio upon page display in en epub format? I intend to use the epub on an iPad. The audio does not work in Adobe Reader Edition or Calibre... |

Audio and video are not in the current specification for ePUB, which means that there is no portable way to include it (every reader will support a different way of dealing with it, if any).

Hi Chez, I found this site very helpful. There are good links from those responding to her blog as well.

Thanks. Wannabee.
I downloaded sample Html which had video with sound in the epub. It included a control to stop and start the video with flash in META tags. I only want audio to play when the page is displayed. |
