  Added audio file does not play to the end

  I uploaded a WAV file (1.2 mb) using the file manager. When I click on the icon, it will only play until the cursor gets to the end of the line, and does not finish the file.
  
  What is the preferred method to embed a recording either wav or mp3 files? I want users to click on the icon to play the files, not for files to automatically play.
  
  Thanks.

  Re: Added audio file does not play to the end.

  What icon are you referring to?
  
  Can't tell you why the movie does not finish. That would likely be a problem with the way it was produced, or perhaps a browser issue. In any case, nothing related to ATutor.
  
  If you just want students to download the file and have it play, use a standard HTML link instead of using the [media] tag.
  [php]
  
  <a href="movies/mymovie.wav">This is a movie</a>
  
  [/php]
  
  adjust the path to the file. Use the Insert button in the popup file manager to figure out the correct path.
