Hello.. I have also tried this code... <object width="300" height="42"> <param name="src" value="gtr.mp3"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FF9900"> <embed src="gtr.mp3" autostart="true" loop="false" width="300" height="42" controller="true" bgcolor="#FF9900"></embed> </object> But Its still very unpreditable?? I can't accessing the page using firfox but not IE, I have had my friends try also, and they have the same problem of freezing once clicked on the link... heres my site..http://www.lanceitc.com/evphome.html If you click on MY EVP's this is where I am having the problems.. Many thanks Lance..

  Hi Lance. There are several potential problems with your approach:
  

  • Internet Explorer treats embedding code as a potential security risk (or patent violation!), forcing visitors to click several times to initiate playback. (Google "EOLAS" for background.)
  
  
  • Your page loads all the media at once, rather than when each link is clicked. On slow connections, that can take a lot of time.
    

  
  
  I'd recommend using plain MP3 links and Play Tagger or Yahoo Media Player instead. See my followup article "Three Free & Easy Web Audio Players" at http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2008/08/21/free-easy-web-audio-players.html
