You didn't mention what problem you were having, but since this code passes the first two tasks of the challenge, I'm guessing you are unsure about how to add the "type" attribute asked for in task 3. That process is illustrated at about 1:30 in The Audio Element video.

Also, while this does pass task 1 as-is, the instructions actually asked you to "*Add a self-closing <audio> element." The self-closing tag style was shown at 3:40 in The Video Element video.
