On the <audio> tag use the SRC attribute to add the URL as the audio file.

I add the right URL but it keeps telling me I have no source my answer is right but it tells me I'm wrong.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Video and Audio</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">

      <!-- Add your code below this line -->
      <audio><source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3" 
                     type=audio/mp3/>

    </div>

Hi Sherman,

<source> is not a valid HTML tag and that is why you are receiving the "Bummer." The Task asks for you to add the src to the <audio> tag. So, you've almost got it... you just need to remove the invalid tag and put the src=... right inside of the <audio> tag.

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

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

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