Hello.
I am adding audio/mp3 files to a music website that I am doing, but have come across a stumbling block regarding the files from auto playing when the webpage loads. What is the correct way to stop this from happening? I am sure it has something to do with the Parameters, but not sure what to put in there. Any answers would be appreciated.

Hi
Sorry I forgot to put the address up. I am using Quicktime on my computer, but it can also use Real Player too as I have provided a link for it too. The website address is:
http://www.arddesign.co.uk/tinyfracture.com/music.php
As for the code I would have to look back at that as all I did was Insert as a plug-in through Dreamweaver.
Many thanks
Paul
In your code, change this:
<embed src="21 Heaven (Feat. Do).mp3" width="200" height="25" border="5" autostart="true" controls="ControlPanel"></embed>
To this:
<embed src="21 Heaven (Feat. Do).mp3" width="200" height="25" border="5" autostart="false" controls="ControlPanel"></embed>
FYI: your MP3 doesn't play in my browser because I don't have the required plug-ins.
You would reach a wider audience if you used an actual web player for this.

I second Nancy on that. You're currently playing off the system player - but not everyone will have the required plug-in in their computer to play your files.
You could also take a look at JWPlayer here - http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
Hi Nancy
Thank you very much for your return message. I have now changed the code to your suggestion and it has worked. I have also taken your advice on the media player too and had a look at some other options.
I am sure that I will be posting more queries over time too.
Thanks again for your help.
