You need to set up a playlist that music players can use. Here's how:

1. Open up a text editor like Notepad or Simpletext.

2. Type in the exact URL to each sound file in the order you want it played.

3. After the last URL, place one carriage return. This is to account for a bug in Winamp that chokes on playlists that do not have a blank line after the last song.

4. Save the file with the extension .m3u.

5. Upload the sound files and .m3u file to your web server.

6. Using a standard <a href=""> tag, link to the .m3u file.

Most web servers are set up to automatically buffer and stream content that is requested from a .m3u or playlist file. All the user needs is Winamp, Sonique, Freeamp, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Real Player, basically any music player supports .m3u playlists.

If you want the sounds in the background, perhaps include an iframe with it's source the .m3u file or a regular frame at the bottom of the screen with the .m3u file as its source.

You could even try the bgsound attribute for the body tag or maybe the object tags. Just link to the .m3u file.

Is this contingent on the viewer controlling the playback?

[toicontien]

Yes, the viewer would have control over the playback via their default media player (winamp, windows media player, etc).

If you do not want the viewer to have control (not recommended because some people might want to stop the music), then you're basically stuck using 1 sound on the web page. You may be able to change the source of the embed tag via JavaScript after a certain number of seconds. Try posting this same question in the JavaScript forum and ask if you can change the src of the embed tag with javascript.

I think I found another way to accomplish this.
I used "Cool Edit" and simply cut & pasted one file after another.
Then I converted the >wav files into Mp3.
Thanks,
Jack

Lets play whats wrong with this tag

[Smilin' Jack]

Is that supposed to accomplish consecutive play?

[firebomb™]

Yes thats what i was lookin for

[Smilin' Jack]

FireBomb,
But you alluded to something being wrong with that script.
One problem with the way I did it is the download time and the quality.
How would I apply that to:http://www.equipmentpolice.com/Ice.Html ???
