What is HTML Audio Generator?

The HTML `<audio>` element embeds an audio player in a web page. Multiple `<source>` child elements let you specify the same audio file in different formats; the browser plays the first one it supports. Common format order is MP3 (widest support), then OGG Vorbis, then WAV.

Key attributes: `controls` shows the browser's native playback bar; `autoplay` starts playback immediately (browsers may block this without user interaction); `loop` repeats the track; `muted` starts silenced; `preload` hints how much audio data to fetch before the user presses play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why list MP3 first?
MP3 has the broadest browser and device support including Safari on iOS. OGG Vorbis is open and smaller but not supported by Safari without a plugin. WAV is uncompressed and large. List MP3 first, OGG second as a fallback.
Does autoplay work on mobile?
Most mobile browsers block autoplay with audio unless the user has already interacted with the page. Combine autoplay with muted if you need reliable auto-start, but even then mobile browsers vary in their policies.
