cannot enable quicktime plugin (win7) for mp3 format sound - can only select Quicktime player or Win Media Player. Choose other and navigating to plugin folder is empty. I wanted to use plugin and firebug to get embed code, so I can add audio files. Help!

I'd like to associate an mp3 I've created with the Quicktime plugin (vs player) - in conjunction with firebug (so I can get the html embed code). I am building a course in moodle lms and need the embed code.

Code like this should play an MP3 file with QuickTime. You only need to supply a MIME type that the QT plugin supports. 

<embed src="file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" width="300" height="20" autostart="0">

<object data="file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" width="300" height="20">
 <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
 <param name="controller" value="true" />
</object>

Great, thanks cor-el. I'll give that a try in the morning - it's been a long day. I had a coworker (using mac) show me how to get the emded code, using qt plugin and fireplug. I'm on pc, and when I tried, well let's just say I went down the rabbit hole. I was able to figure out how to obtain the embed code (may sound foolish for some, but I am no coder..), now it turns out that our LMS does not play well with Firefox. I tested the code using IE and Firefox - IE all works pretty well, but when using Firefox, it asks for a plugin that isn't there. Yipes. I've got our LMS admin digging into it...
