Adding sound to web page

Question

I wrote recently about adding a player to a web page and was advised to use Flash. There is a very long video tutorial, and it will take forever to complete since I have dial up. So, I came across a html method to insert into page. It is this: (no looping)

I have inserted it (I use DW mx 2004) and it worked in aol.browser, but started and stoped in IE. Would love you guys' imput on this. I can't get an answer in freewebs.com as to how to work with music in their page setup. I really appreciate all the comments. Pat McCabe pattyrae

Flash is way better, you canfind free players that will play mp3's all day long. Look at this mp3 player i got for free, it will read a directory and write a XML playlist on the fly. I modified the code to use a set list that i make from a web page form.

> Would love you guys' imput on this.The answer you're going to get from us is 'use flash'.Two reasons:1) It's consistent (at least, moreso than anyHTML/embed/javascript method)2) It's more user friendly as you can put a 'stop playingthis annoying music' or 'mute' button on the page.-Darrel
