Well if you have your PC volume turned up and I got the coding correct, you should be listening to a short piece of music right now. It will have autostarted and is set to play only once. You will notice there is no way of physically controlling the sound except for turning your speaker volume down.
Just to be nasty I purposely left the volume on the high side to let you hear what often happens on sites where people haven't considered their visitors . I could have left it to loop infinitely and you would have had difficulty listening to the other examples I've done for you.
So for your visitors pleasure and comfort, always listen to your work or samples and adjust the sound level to a comfortable level before uploading.

Here is the code I used to autostart and play the sample:

This code will activate the quicktime plugin on your PC and give you the opportunity to take you to the Quicktime site to download it, if it is not detected.
Most people have this player installed, but there is an easier way to play the music using the built in Windows Media Player.
It consists of one line of code and is the easiest way of putting music on your Bolt profile.

This line of code forces the download of your music to your profile from the server.
The options you have are these:
autostart= "true" or "false" should be obvious
loop= "true" for an infinite loop or can be a number between "1" and "99" to set the number of repeats.
volume = Any number between "0" - off to "100" - maximum volume. A value between 15-25 is best.
hidden= "true" no controls or "false" shows play/pause control to visitors

If you intend to display other media files in your profile, I suggest setting autostart="true", loop="1" and hidden="false" this will only play your sound through once and give your visitor a chance to replay it again using the play controls.

The next example shows how this code works:-

You will notice the Quicktime code is almost identical except for the controller, autoplay and volume values. Once the background tune has stopped you can then press play on the panel below to start off another tune.

The quick way for Bolt is simply this

This line can be added under the code that calls up your stylesheet

There are other ways of introducing media but I will cover them in other sections.

If you're wondering what those tunes are they are modern folk dance tunes from the northeast of the UK. The first one is called "Dog Fleas" and the second is called "Capn Bob's Bouncin' Barque". They were chosen simply because of copyright issues. No problems with that, I wrote them both.
