Play ogg inside a page?

Question

I was pretty surprised when i saw http://www.vorbis.com/music/Hydrate-Kenny_Beltrey.ogg link not give me a download option but had a player that was not flash playing the audio back. (FireFox)

Is there a way i can embed this onto a page?

Answer 1

Use the HTML5 Audio tag.

P.S. Although you tagged as firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera 10.5 also have support for audio

Answer 2

You can use HTML5 to embed this on a page, but it will not play back consistently across browsers.

The only way to get consistent audio/video playback across browsers is to use a plugin and Flash has the widest user penetration.

Answer 3

You're looking for the HTML5 <audio> tag.
Note that it's not supported by IE.
