How do I get a song to play when I open up my website, like an MP3? would it be to big the mp3 file. I am using dreamweaver.

Well, you can embed a sound using the <object> tag but it's difficult to do it with valid markup. There are also lots of non-standard tags you can use like <embed>.

My advice - don't do it. It mainly just annoys people and wastes bandwidth.

do a search for a free flash player that you can upload mp3's too. but yeah i agree, it just annoys people lol.

It's a song my brother did in his band, thought it would be kinda cool if it was playing whilst people browsed the site.

It's always a good idea to give people a choice of large downloads. I suggest you just make a link to the MP3 file and invite people to download it and play it,

That did look ideal StykFacE, however it pops up with an error when I try and download it. (Shotgun error? Never heard of that one)
I think I will do what you say CADTutor. it's just well sites like this one www.ninjatune.co.uk have sussed it. I wander how they do it the page seems to load pretty fast as well.

I do recommend that you make it as a link.

I would personally link it to a frame setup then when they move to a different page the music will still be there (NOTE: There can be problems with frames usually this has to deal with link targets - target="_self" - )

I created this site for a small organization Click Here (http://www.proaxis.com/~jjefff/) Look in the Top Right Corner for the music link.

You can do a lot more than this but it is just an idea for adding music to a website.
