That is very helpful. I'm using this code cause I found that it would work
under most browsers but never really looked at it. Good point about using
Media player. Thanks

What's the web address so I can test it live? I can almost guarantee
that it won't work under linux either. Why? Because you're requesting
Microsoft's Media player. The chances of this being installed on any
operating system other than windows is slim to none, which raises a
few questions:
1) Why are you putting background sound on the website? :oP
2) (and much more seriously) Why not let the operating system decide
what it uses to play the file?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any hints on how to let the operating
system decide, as I've never put sound into the background of the
webpage.
My personal preference under Linux is mplayer, however I know that a
lot of people use Xine, xmms or even (in some extreme cases) Windows
Media Player running under Wine (a windows emulator).
Hope this is of some help,
Matt
