I have embedded a sound in one of my sites using:

<embed SRC="intro.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

However, obviously, not everyone wants sound. I am not very clear on java etc so could anyone tell me in simple terms how to allow the option to turn on/off the music whenever the visitor wants.

Perhaps via a link format or an image!!

Cheers in advance

Try this link to Javascriptkit.com for a great script to do this:

Or you can have a play with this script, I have included both play and stop links and buttons.
