HTML5 supports these 2 tags (audio / video) which Safari supports:
In your case, you can use the audio tag.
The only catch is getting the right format for your media. 🙂
Safari supports MP3 for audio, and MPEG 4 for video… Firefox supports OGG for audio/video, (I believe Opera does too), and chrome supports both.
