If I upload a song to a website how can I make it play whenever someone visits my my-place profile? Do I need to put some command before and after the URL I've stored the song under: e.g. [*command*]http://something.com/something/[*command*] ?

Cool, thanks a million, and does this only work with audio or can it work with mpg (Quicktime) videos too?

Yes.

There are other attributes for the embeded tag. For example, the controls attribute, starttime, endtime, hidden, volume, playcount, loop... And you can always Google the embeded html tag.

I noticed that it only playes it when I visit with Internet Explorer, with Opera and Firefox it says "plugin missing", I've installed QuickTime on my PC, the plugin seems to work since I often view QuickTime videos with Opera and Firefox, what is the problem?

For Firefox and Opera you will need to use an <object> tag...

Take a look at some of the sites from this Google search

I have never used the <object> tag before, which is why I referred you to Google (I do not use Firefox and a few years ago, when I created a few websites, Firefox was no where near as popular and I never had a reason to check and see what did and did not work..).

The best way to find out is to test it. If <object> works in IE along with working in FireFox, just use the <object> tag. If <object> does not work with IE you can put <embed> and <object> and see if you can play the music/video in IE and FireFox.

That is not correct. Did you take a look at any of the google results?

well, after Apokarteron reads a few of the sites on the <object> tag and re-posts... I will let you tell him whether or not it will work ;)
 
I can't find anything on the <object> tag, can you give me the exact tags to use for both IE and Opera/Firefox/Netscape?
