MP3 Player to web page

Being a novice,How do I embed music into my web site so it plays when opening the site
and where do I embed it.

Do you want to have it in the background? or do you want to have controls(Play, stop ect..)? <EMBED src="something.mp3" width="150" height="20"> that is a simple embed tag that you can put anywhere in the body(where ever you want it on the page).

Playing in the background.

Don't do it !! It is THE #1 most ANNOYING thing people complain about when surfing the web. It is even more annoying when you can't turn it off !!

If I happen to be listening to my own music, I sure as heck don't want to hear yours coming in on top if it. Not everyone has the same tastes in music and if I find it annoying I will leave the site and not come back.

If you insist on music, put in a player that will let visitors play it if THEY want to.
Lastly, the <embed> tag is no longer supported and it will not validate.

Exactly what LadynRed said! It's enough to put me off visiting an otherwise good site.

Thanks I think I will take your advice.

Although everyone has different musical taste you can consider puting a link/button that opens a music player in a new window... Then if the user WANTS to hear your tunes they can

Sorry if that makes no sense, I kinda just got back from the bar. :P

That makes sense and is a good idea. Giving people choices is always better!
