Is there a free, easy way to add audio to an email?(i.e. so that the audio plays when the email is viewed - not a file attatchment - I'm using Outlook Express)

Hi Dave,
As far i am aware you cannot do this within outlook, but there is a program called incredemail (Might have typoed put is pronounced that way!) that allows you to create those types of e-mails, and they can be viewed as planned in outlook or any other mainstream e-mail client.
Hope this helps,

There is a way to do it, because a friend sent me one once (very annoying). He didn't use any special program to do it. But I no longer remember how he did it.

You use sound recorder to copy the song you wish and then when you send a email go in to format tab then select background then select sound then in the pop up box clik browse to whereever you save it to! Good Luck

BigBob is correct but I think you can only use .wav files, not .mp3's.

Open a new mail to send, select format - background - sound. You only get the option if it's mail you are sending....

For OE version 6: Open a new email....Format should be an option on the tool bar of the blank email. Then, as stated, you would choose Background and click Sound. Browse to the sound file and you can choose to have it play continuously or a certain number of times.
Note: You can embed MIDI, MP3, WAV, perhaps other formats as well. They will ONLY play upon opening an email IF the recipient has Outlook Express. Web email (like Yahoo), wmconnect (WalMart AOL) and others will not play them when the email is opened. Some will not even show the fact that there is a music file in the email at all.
