Hi there. I have a website with an index page that has a short embedded .mp3 that starts automatically - in Internet Explorer. It won't play in FireFox. I have tried the "Applications" tab in the Tools menu, to no avail. Anyone know what I have missed?
Thanks!

There are different ways to embed a audio file into a web page.Could you provide a bit of the code i n HTML? Or is it JavaScript?

here's the top lines of the page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<embed src="http://www.cerwin-vega-fans.com/files/cv-intro.mp3"
width=0 height=0 autostart=true repeat=false loop=false> </embed>

MP3 does not work in Firefox unless you have some plug-in that will handle it.
One way ins to install QuickTime from Apple. The Windows version.
If Java is used for sound, if can not be MP3.
A player can be put on the server. Or you can embed and object that plash MP3. Often a Flash or Shock wave file.
EDIT: A few months ago this was on Mozilla:
Firefox no longer plays embedded MP3's. (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/944690)

You might consider getting thing you can put in the page. If is a kind of Flash application
It lets user stop or reset the music or voice Iver. I have used wimpy MP3 player.
