Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 19,022 PointsAdding sound to the Crystal Ball App
I managed to get my crystal ball animation working but thought it would be so much better if the animation had a sound to go with. Managed to download this wav file from the internet but how do l get it to play and stop when my animation start and finish respectively. Any ideas? codes? :)

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe Octave sound library is the easiest way for you to add sounds to the crystal ball project. Or you can play your own custom sound: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9791491/best-way-to-play-simple-sound-effect-in-ios
