Intermediate/ Excerpt...

We have recently started using tools such as LiveClicker and VidYard to stream videos in our SPARK email newsletter and we’re seeing great results. This prompted me to wonder, what about audio streaming in your email marketing? I would normally link to a landing page and play the audio from there to provide a more consistent and reliable user experience. I would’ve said the same about video before I saw the results of opens and clicks on our embedded video emails. With new technologies and defensive design, times are changing.

I’ve been playing with the HTML5 <audio> tag in email and so far it has provided a good experience for me in various email clients.
