At URI we have digitized all of our audio as QuickTime movie files.  (We are
adding some video for the Spring.)  Our sound files currently open as a
blank page but my project for the Spring is to add the text as part of the
html page.  I have experimented with putting the QT player at the top of the
page and then you can build whatever you want around it.  This works well
and is much better looking than that huge grey page.

Good Luck!
Mary
