Like I've said before on this thread, the way to do this is with an embed tag inside an object tag, pretty much the same way you'd do it for a Flash movie. <object id="mediaplayer1" width="120" height="40" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"> <param value="sound.mp3" name="Filename"/> <param value="False" name="AutoStart"/> <param value="True" name="ShowControls"/> <param value="False" name="ShowStatusBar"/> <param value="False" name="ShowDisplay"/> <param value="True" name="AutoRewind"/> <embed width="120" height="40" autorewind="1" showdisplay="0" showstatusbar="0" showcontrols="1" autostart="0" src="sound.mp3" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/MediaPlayer/"; type="application/x-mplayer2"/> </object> I've kept the width and height in here, as the player displays the controls for the clip, but you can just omit the parts you don't want.
