HTML Code
Here's the HTML for putting a midi or other sound on your page. Paste this code in an Insert HTML element and place anywhere on the page. If you're putting this code in a non-Sitebuilder page, you can put this in the body anywhere after the <body> tag, depending on how your page editor works.
<embed src="files/sound.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">
<noembed>
<bgsound src="files/sound.mid" loop="infinite">
</noembed>
If you do not want the sound to start at page loading, change autostart to "false".
If you do not want the sound to repeat itself change the 1st loop command to "false" and the second loop command to "1" (for play one time).
If you want a visible player, change the hidden to "false" or leave the command out.
If src="files/sound.mid" does not work, use your full URL instead, as in "http://yoursite.homestead.com/files/sound.mid".
This is the basic HTML that's supposed to work for both IE and NS. What kind of player appears depends on what a visitor sets as a default player for certain filetypes.

Create a Link to AutoPlay MP3
Believe it or not, it's as simple as putting a link code on your page. Use the Insert HTML element and paste this code. Change "First Song" to any text such as the title of the song, a number, whatever.
<a href="http://yoursite.homestead.com/files/music1.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">First Song</a>
This will automatically start up the file using the visitor's default player for mp3s.
Tip
Although it's not necessary, you can provide links to the download page of whatever sound player your visitor should be using depending on the sound type. Whether it's WindowsMedia Player, RealPlayer, Quicktime, or whatever, providing a link to those visitors who may not have one installed is an added plus. A sound player that's offered in various operating systems and browsers would be ideal.
