Sound files are very large. You first have to decide what format you want to use. Some require plug-ins to operate.
Wav has good sound quality and doesn't require a plugin but they are not compressed. If your friend wants an entire song on the site, it will be a long wait for viewer to load.
MP3 is a compressed format and can be streamed but requires a helper application or a plugin. Quicktime, Win Media Player or RealPlayer can play mp3 files. Streaming means the music starts playing before the song is completely downloaded. Some server-hosts can't accomodate streaming, you should check first.
Ra, Ram, RPm or Real Audio offers best compression and can usually be streamed from a normal server-host. real Audio is a popular plug-in and most users already have it.
You can link sound files or embed them. Embedded would probably be your best choice because you want a on/off volume control on the page.
Ok save your audio into the best format for your needs. If you want to use DW click the plugin button in the objects panel or choose Insert, media, plugin.
In the property inspector, click the folder icon to browse for the audio file or type the name of the link.
Enter the width and height of the audio controls. Usually 144 X 60 make them as small as possible.
Have fun and keep us posted on how it works.
