Introduction
The Audio tag is a new tag introduced in HTML5. You can use it to play audio sound like .mp3, wav, and .ogg. I have used five types of sound formats to show which formats are compatible with browsers. A WAV file is a common sound that is supported by most browser versions.
Syntax
<audio src="URL" controls> </audio>
Syntax for more than one audio format
<audio controls="controls" autoplay loop>
<source src="URL1" type="audio/mp3" />
<source src="URL2" type="audio/wma" />
<source src="URL3" type="audio/x-wav" />
</audio>
<source src="URL1" type="audio/mp3" />
<source src="URL2" type="audio/wma" />
<source src="URL3" type="audio/x-wav" />
</audio>
