A few tips on creating the Audio Embedding Code for your Soundscape:
- Create an audio folder on your server with fugu / fetch etc, and upload your mp3 into it, note URL of audio.
- Test this in the browser : eg http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~s1234567/foldername/filename.mp3 If correct, this should play your sound.
- Insert audio URL into PageOt to generate code, (note – make height=0, so you get a controller without a blank video window) Insert this code into a HTML page made in PageSpinner, include links for any sourced material.) Width can be adjusted to make the controller suit the width of page design elements. Clicking controller on/off will have it display or not, and loop and volume allow further controls. Press ‘code and options’, paste this into a HTML page, upload – and bingo!

What to do with your soundscapes?
Aside from publishing within your final project – where else can you publish them, and what else can you publish them with? ( Eg text, images, links to your project / music / blog etc ) And what are useful tags to use when publishing them?
Soundcloud is obviously an option, but there are also several dedicated soundscape related websites:
eg Freesound (which hosts creative commons samples), http://www.soundcities.com/, http://aporee.org/maps/ and http://turbulence.org/soundtransit/
