Hey Ronen,

[edited to correct error is response regarding <source> tag]

You're close. But, the audio src needs to actually go inside the <audio> opening tag.

Think of the way you assign a class name to a div...

Give it another go with this in mind.

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

There is a <source> element for html 5 which can be inside both audio and video elements.

Thank you Jason Anello for adding the correction. I have edited my original response to remove the wrong information.

I haven't worked with HTML for quite some time now, and I am not that well versed with the many changes in HTML 5. But I will certainly be refreshing myself in it now. :) So, thanks again. :smile: :dizzy:
