That should have worked. However, you could always use CSS to do this:<style type="text/css">
embed {
display: none;
}
</style>
Good luck. ;)

Along with the previous code I gave you, make sure the autostart attribute of the <embed> tag is set to true. For example:<embed hidden=\"true\" src="+musi+" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" loop=\"-1\" autostart=\"true\">Good luck.

I found that how sound files play when linked/embedded from a normal html page depends on the user's internet explorer settings - sounds are set to open in windows media by default
However I know there is a way round this - I found a site that played music without opening windows media even though I had chosen in ie settings to open windows media............
I'll track down the site and have a look at the code, see how they did it
