| I am trying to hold it together here. I have read all the postings regarding the use of .m3u to play an mp3 file in the backgroung. I have entered the code physsically into my page script through dreamweaver (my choice of editor), I have place the relevent mp3 file in the htdocs directory and even though I have tried many different things, I can't seem to get my choice of tune to play upon loading...... please, please sort this out for me? |

pbr75;
To add a background sound to your page, you must have this line in the HEAD of your HTML file:
| Code: | <HEAD>
<bgsound src="/path/to/song.mp3" loop="3">
</HEAD> |
/path/to/song.mp3 should be replaced by the virtual path of your MP3 in the web site, that means that you should have the mp3 played or downloaded if you browse http://yoursite/path/to/song.mp3 (so if you put the mp3 file in the htdocs, its virtual path is /song.mp3).

Hi and thanks for the reply....
This is how it looks, but it still doesn't work....
Please advise
<html>
<head>
<title>paulsite TF</title>
<bgsound src="/dark.mp3" loop="3">
<bgsound src="http://www.paulsite.ca/thedarkness_Ibelieve.mp3">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

At the moment you are asking the computer to play 2 different background sounds.
Try removing one so it looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>paulsite TF</title>
<bgsound src="http://www.paulsite.ca/thedarkness_Ibelieve.mp3" loop=”3”>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
the bit in bold is the part I’ve updated

heres a better way
same sound in background
<embed src="/dark.mp3" loop=3 hidden=true autostart=true> </embed>
different sound each time the page load
sound = new Array()
sound[0]="/dark.mp3"
sound[1]="http://www.paulsite.ca/thedarkness_Ibelieve.mp3"
var Number = Math.round(1* Math.random());
var Themp3 = sound[Number]
document.write("<embed src=" +Themp3+ " loop=3hidden=true autostart=true> </EMBED>") |

You accidentally forgot to put a space between the "loop" and "hidden."
| Code: | sound = new Array()
sound[0]="/dark.mp3"
sound[1]="http://www.paulsite.ca/thedarkness_Ibelieve.mp3"
var Number = Math.round(1* Math.random());
var Themp3 = sound[Number]
document.write("<embed src=" +Themp3+ " loop=3 hidden=true autostart=true> </EMBED>") |
There we go. (I just posted saying this because anyone who were to copy and paste the code would get an error, and might not know why).

Well tell me if it works; although I am not one to play a background sound on my webpage (it would not only drive visitors crazy; it would drive me crazy!)
