On the <audio> tag, use the src attribute to add this URL as the audio file. http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.

The question wont let me pass even though I'm sure i am adding the code correctly. I'm not sure what to do next.

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 controls>

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

      </audio>

    </div>

  </body>
</html>

You can’t be too sure they say…

Jason, maybe you ought to try this instead of what you did:

<audio src="

The instruction reads:

On the <audio> tag, use the src attribute…

All right now?

That helped me pass as well. Funny thing is, in the workspace it works fine with "source" instead of "audio".

I think it's because you have a closing audio tag. Remove it and it should work. <audio> is a self closing tag. :-)

thanks for the feedback Jonathan using <audio src="" did the trick. But your right about the self closing tagging, thanks for the reminder
