music in the background

[thibo1025]

I want to set a music in the background of my page, but I want this music to be red by most navigators... how can I do this?

[real_illusions]

this is more of a suggestion..but i personally hate background music, or any auto playing sounds on a webpage, as most of the time when i'm browsing, i have music on from my computer, so, i instantly close any webpage that has sound on it.If you insist on playing music, you need an option that gives the user the ability to turn the annoying stuff off:)

actually, leave it turned off and let the client browsing the page decide whether to turn it on.

i would use flash to do it. you can make a player with controls that will play FLV Streams. google for tutorials

in the document head, try:<EMBED src="file.mp3" autostart=true hidden=true>example: http://ecomireland.dsvr.co.uk/clients/test/blah.html

Actually, to make sure it's compatible with all browsers you could use something like this:

<embed src="http://www.url/music.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true"><noembed><bgsound src="http://www.url/music.mp3" loop="infinite"></noembed>

Just depending on the browser some only use one of these tag's and so they use one or the other[note: <embed> is more common].
