That depends on what version of Netscape you are talking about.

NS 4 requires a plug-in. Once you decide what plug-in to use, then you have to find out what javascript functions are available for that plug-in. Microsoft has a plug-in with Windows Media 6.4 for Netscape that is very good. See

for some help.

NS 6 totally changed their API for plug-ins, and you can no longer use perfectly good NS 4 methods to play music. WMP 6.4 does not work in NS 6. Possibly WinAmp, RealPlayer or Beatnik will have a solution.

I have not looked into playing muic in NS 7.
