I'm new to HTML5. I used an audio tag of HTML5 in my page. I want to add the source of my mp3 file from different root folder. My root folder is C:/inetpub/wwwroot/App/ but I want to use folder from D:/Web/mp3. Please help.

The syntax for HTML5 audio tag is... 

<audio src="/audio/mp3/someAudioFile" controls preload="auto" autobuffer></audio>

where "/audio/mp3/someAudioFile" is an example relative URL from where your audio file can be accessed. Basically, in this example, I am assuming that you will map to map your "D:/web" folder to "/audio" within your IIS (it can be mapped to whatever you choose to).

A quick google search of "HTML5 audio tag" will get you much more information but for starters, you can refer to

  • Can you tell me how to map IIS or tell me the link? – Norak Apr 26 '13 at 04:16
  • @Norak Here is a link to another StackOverflow question - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4497131/iis-virtual-directory-map-to-network-drive-with-drive-letter-but-fail-to-creat - this might help you. One unsolicited advise: if you are not comfortable with IIS configuration, I would recommend that you get your security aspects reviewed by some expert before exposing your server on the Internet! – smallworld Apr 26 '13 at 04:25
  • I use it only on Localhost. It's just a back office. Thank you for your advice. – Norak Apr 26 '13 at 04:30
