Some plugins are specific to a browser or browser version. Moreover, plugins that aren??™t distributed with the
major browsers face an uphill battle in terms of market penetration. If you use a plugin, you can always
expect some users to be resistant to downloading the necessary software. Before you incorporate any plugin,
you must weigh these issues against your overall design plan.
Windows Media Player audio
The Windows Media Player is Internet Explorer??™s default multimedia player. You can use it to play the standard
audio formats, including MP3, WAV, AIFF, AU, and MIDI files. Calling Windows Media Player directly
as an ActiveX control, however, gives you far more flexibility over the player??™s appearance and functionality:
its width, height, control panel display, loudness, number of loops, and so on.
To incorporate the Windows Media Player ActiveX control, follow these steps:
1. Position the cursor where you would like the Windows Media Player control panel to appear.
Choose Insert ??? Media ??? ActiveX or click the ActiveX button from the Media category of the
Insert bar. The Property inspector displays the ActiveX object options.
2. In the ClassID text box, enter the ID for the Windows Media Player control: CLSID:22d6f312-
b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95.
