<embed> tag no longer supported! what to use instead?

I am trying to embed mp3 files in a web page by using the <embedtag. Every
time I save the page I get xhtml validation(): embed tag no longer
supported. When I run the page... I get nothing at all. I even tried this
with a flash swf file and that never worked either. Still get validation
errors and IE7 refuses to run it...any ideas on how to fix this?

Use the HTML <objecttag instead. Embed is depreciated. If you have
to use it then you could try rendering the page in quirks mode by
leaving out the Doctype.
