embedding mp3s

[smiling_samurai]

i'm using the below code to embed an mp3 onto my webpage. i want the file to play as soon as the page loads. i thought the code was autostart="true", but that didn't work. anyone know what the code is to get this file to play automatically? thanks!

what was messing you up is the lack of quotes..ALWAYS put quotes for values example <embed src="bla.mov">.

<embed> is deprecated I believe, but o well. and most people don't enjoy hearing music when they log on to a site, but thats your choice
