on the type attribute its: type="audio/mp3">

Hi, You were very vague with your question, but would this help?

<audio controls>
<source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

The answer for #3 of 4 is:

<audio type="audio/mp3"> <audio src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3"/> </audio>

The way it's explained is absolutely confusing.
