Question
I would like to embed an mp3 file on the home page of a web site set to play upon opening of the page. I know how to do it with a midi file, but I'm not sure if an mp3 will work. Even if it will play the near 10MB size of the file seems to be an obstacle that would be difficult to cope with. Is there a cheap and dirty way to do this?

Answer
Frank, you would embed an MP3 the same way as you would any sound file.

Not sure about a 10mb file download just to open your site.  Even with high speed that would be an effort unless you expect a very select group of visitors to your site.

On open you can't even warn about the size of the download or give an option to not use it.

Just my opinion, I would post to someone else and see what they have to say.
