Autoplay of audio files has long been considered bad form for websites, but I just can’t help myself. It’s just too fun. I’ve set a piece to play at the entrance of my site and will setup a short audio sample to play on the front of my blog.

You don’t have to embed in a flash player, and you can call up whatever audio format you want (.wav, MP3. .ra, etc.). If you are super evil like me you can set the file to “hidden - true” so no one can turn the music off. My front page is a splash page so if people don’t like the song they can always click to another section.

Here’s the code to autoplay MP3 audio music files on your website page:

***********
embed src=’Music.wav’ autostart=’true’ volume=’90′ hidden=’TRUE’ height=’0′ width=’0′
*********************

NOTE: You will need to put a “<” at the beginning of code and a “> ” at the end. I couldn’t post it with the tags because my blog think’s it is HTML code (which it is).

Autostart - is to automatically start the song playing.
Hidden - is setting for audio controls.
If control is hidden then dimensions are not shown anyway.
Replace URL with exact location of your audio file.
