How do I use VBA to play sound clip from website?
Thanks Chip... As usual, your posts are allways very helpful.

The short answer is that you can't. The longer answer is that you
can't in VBA because you'd have to use a stream, which isn't supported
in VBA. You can do it in NET, but not VBA.
You could, perhaps, download the file (assuming you have a URL that
points to a file, not a streaming object) to the hard drive and then
play the sound from the local drive.
See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DownloadFile.aspx for VBA code to
download a file from a URL.

Hi,
I found the instructions on how to play a wav file from my hard drive but
have a new challenge.
I'm curious how I can play a sound from a popular sound-clip website from
within VBA.
