Looping music in HTML

[MidnightGladius]

I'm relatively new to HTML, so I'd appreciate if anyone could show me a tag/script that would loop music, since it seems that <embed src> will only play the sound once and stop.

add this to your embed tag:

LOOP="true"

Though, as a rule of thumb, don't force sounds onto your visitors. Its always a better idea to give them a choice first -- ie put the embed up at the top of your site, or easily visible so they can see it. Sometimes music on a site can put some people off. Especially if its a bigger file like an MP3 or something.

Don't worry, it's easily visible: it's a hyperlink that says "Click here to play music" or some such.

Also, is there a tag to make the music stop?

Thanks for the help.

NOt really. The embed will show the user whatever player they have, in the past it used to show a play/stop and pause button, but I havent seen it since forever i've got no idea >_<

You could probably use javascript in someway to stop it, but I don't remember off the top of my head.

You might check http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ look for the "jukebox" scripts or w/e they are called.

Well, then again, I suppose they could just mute the music...
