Making Your Web Page Musical
I used to embed music in web pages this way:
<EMBED ALIGN="CENTER" SRC="http://personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/Midi/Great_Balls_of_Fire(JerryLeeLewis).mid" HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="600" AUTOSTART="TRUE" VOLUME="100%" REPEAT="FALSE" MASTERSOUND ></EMBED>
but one of my XP computers freaks out every time I try to run htm with such an embedded command, so I have shifted to using BGSOUND, which is a Microsoft extension to HTML, so probably only works with MS Internet Explorer, which remains my favorite browser anyhow. Here is the code I used in this web page to play the idontlikespam wav twice.
<bgsound src="http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/Wav/dontlikespam.wav" loop="2">
The BSGOUND command can appear anywhere in the html document. It works with mid, mp3, and wav files, maybe others too.
Use LOOP="-1" to play the sound over and over again as long as the page is open. LOOP="0" will play it only once, LOOP="1" will play it twice, and so on.
