If you want to perform audio classification tasks on specific segments of audio clips, you can use this template to listen to an audio file and classify the topic of the clip.

    <Label value="Politics" background="yellow"></Label>
    <Label value="Business" background="red"></Label>
    <Label value="Education" background="blue"></Label>

## About the labeling configuration

All labeling configurations must be wrapped in [View](/tags/view.html) tags.

You can add a [header](/tags/header.html) to provide instructions to the annotator:
```xml
<Header value="Select its topic:"></Header>
```

Use the [Labels](/tags/labels.html) control tag to allow annotators to segment the audio and classify it at the same time. 
```xml
<Labels name="label" toName="audio" choice="multiple">
    <Label value="Politics" background="yellow"></Label>
    <Label value="Business" background="red"></Label>
    <Label value="Education" background="blue"></Label>
    <Label value="Other"></Label>
</Labels>
```
The `choice="multiple"` argument allows one audio segment to be labeled with multiple topics.

Use the [Audio](/tags/audio.html) object tag to specify the location of the audio file to classify:
```xml
<Audio name="audio" value="$url"></Audio>
```
