[thelist] audio / mpeg 4 on a site

says they will be made
as mpeg 4 files.

"Best" depends on your needs.  MP3 would be more
universal, but using MPEG-4
has benefits as well.

> When I tried this with some mpeg movie files I had
of my kids they
automatically opened in quicktime on both my mac and
pc machines. What
happens if someone doesn't have quicktime, will they
still play but on a
different player ?

Yes, unless the user doesn't have /anything/ installed
that plays MPEG-4.

> Has anyone got any good tutorials for adding such
files to sites ?

Since you're linking to them, you'll link to them just
like you'd link to
anything.

If someday you want to embed media in your page rather
than link to it, you
might want to check out Objecty
