Making music play automatically (WindowsMedia)

This isn't really a Javascript question - apologies if inappropriate-
I don't know where to ask.

This code in my website works fine on some pcs - it automatically
loads media player and plays the music file when the page opens.
But on others, media player opens but the music file won't download.
As far as I can tell the setup of my laptop & desktop are similar (W98
2ed)
Why won't the following code work correctly on my laptop - and
presumably a cross section of other computers?

<OBJECT id="MediaPlayer " width=240 Height=45
classid="clsid: 22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95F"
standby="Loadin g Media Player" Type="applicati on/x-oleobject">
<PARAM name="Filename" value="time.wma ">
<EMBED type="applicati on/x-mplayer2" src="file.wax" name="MediaPlay er"
width=240
height=45> </OBJECT>
Thanks

Your best best would be at a browser-specific NG or the one dedicated to
WMP and/or one of the ones at microsoft.

Microsoft has a newsserver (msnews) that can be subscribed to if you
prefer, but it looks like you're posting from google.

...that should retain the long link (not the '<' '>')
but this should also do the trick..

Hi all, I want to do following. In the background should play a midi file. That's not the problem but when the midi file is played another one should start automatically. During playing the first midi file the second should be downloaded and so on. What I don't know is when the midi file is played and when I should start the next midi file.

Our client insists on having a music loop playing as the visitor travels throughout his new HTML website. We will not be doing this in frames and I would prefer not to have the home page spawn new pages from its links. Although that's the only solution that I know of. Does anyone have another solution?

Hi peeps Just after a bit of theory and pointers really. I need to develop a music downloading system, with digital rights management etc (so users cant copy tracks). The majority of systems seem to use Windows Media and WMA files to acheive the security side, but I have no idea how to implement DRM, windows media, or what I'd need to add to my server, etc etc. Any help / information / pointers to information would be useful, as would

Hi all. With iTunes 7 (Windows XP), if repeat is selected and a music video is next in the same playlist, the current song finishes but does not switch to the next one automatically... it just sits on 'play' with 0 seconds remaining. Manually pressing play works fine. Have tried to get around this using setTimeout, but having NO experience in JScript means getting this ready in time has been a pain in the rump. Have been trying to get it to...

Hello all, I'm developing a site in PHP4 for a music artist, who wants music to play across all their pages. I have loaded a simple flash applet to play the music, but every time the visitor to the site moves to a different page the music starts again. The artist would like the music to play continuously. I can only think of three possible ways to solve this, and I am not happy with any of them.
