If you have access to a prerecorded sound file that you want to use in your content, you can import the sound file. Supported file formats include .aiff, .aif, .au, .mp3, .snd, .wav or .wma. The imported sound file is embedded into the topic.

Note: You cannot import an .mp3 file into a web page.

Importing .mp3 files into topics

You can import an .mp3 file into a topic but you cannot edit it in the Sound Editor. To edit an .mp3 file, export it, edit it using a valid MP3 editor and import the file back into the Sound Editor.

Note: You can import sound files in bulk to a Library. This allows you to use a central folder for your sound files. See Import Sound Files in Bulk in Export/Import Content for more information.

To import a sound file:

1. From the Sound Editor toolpane select the frame or web page where you want to import a sound file.
    
2. Click  Import Sound.
    
3. In the Import Sound dialog box, click the Look in list and choose the drive where the file is located.
    
4. Open the folder where the file is located and choose the desired sound file.
    
5. Click Open.
    
   The sound file is imported into the selected frame or web page.
