Embedding .mp3 with merged .jpeg - what is code for this?

Question

In iWeb '08 I like the feature of embedding an .mp3 soundfile with a merged .jpeg into a webpage. I like being able to drag the .mp3 file onto the webpage and inserting a .jpeg in the "Drag image here" box. That's nice!
But I am finding that some PC users experience brief dropouts and glitches when they try to play some of my files.
I have an example here of what I am referring to:

(See the "Listen, turn up the volume" file midway down the page.)
So I am wondering if there is some sort of .html or other web protocol code that I can use in a basic webpage maker like Netscape composer so I can embed a soundfile with merged .jpeg ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

QuickTime Pro is the tool you need.
You don't need "Stereo" (half as big in file size). You don't need an .mp3 file (MPEG-1 Layer 3 format) for your "noise" even though it is ten times smaller than CD quality.
You can use iTunes (free) to "crunch" your sound captures into AAC encoded files as mono and lower the data rate to 64 bit (half, again, smaller than the standard 128 bit).
Your audio (crunched and added to an image file via QuickTime Pro):

One quarter the file size (audio) of your source.
