Got a site, but how do you put on sounds?

I have a site on Geocities. The link is in my signature, but I was wondering if you were able to put on sound files from your hard-drive onto a page? Do you have to load it onto a site and then have a link to it on Geocities, or is it just not possible without expensive software? I have written some songs on MusicWrite Professional 2000, and I'd like to put them on my Oddworld site. Can anyone help me?

ps This can be moved to the Off-Topics if you don't think it belongs here Abe Babe or whoever.

I have recently put music on my own site so I can help you a little.
Yes you need to upload the music file to your site. The most common music file types is WAV and MIDI on sits. I prefer MIDI as they tend to be smaller in file size. That is one thing...becareful what music file you upload...as some of them are huge and would take up all your file space. Once you have uploaded it, you copy the url and put in in coding like this (take out the *'s):

<*EMBED src="/art/dragadonslair/music/tron.mid" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=15 controller=TRUE autoplay=TRUE loop=TRUE*>

The Width and height is the size of the music control bar (like below), Controller is for whether or not you want it to show the control bar (and it is encourged that you do...as many peeps hate sites that have music on them so its best to give them the option to 'turn it off'), Autoplay is what it says...whether or not the song will automatically play once the page is finished loading. Loop is whether or not you want it to repeat the song over and over again. (and being this is linked to angelfire...the music here won't play...oh well...I was just using it as an example)

BTW...this is in the wrong forum...so I am going to move it.

Sorry...I'm afraid I don't...I got mine already in MIDI format.

you could try to copy some sounds from another site by going to the sound and right clicking it and left click on save as.
