It is best to use the tags that are supported
by both NETSCAPE and IE. NETSCAPE supports the
Embed tag and IE supports the Bgsound tag.
Music files will either have a .mid extension or
a .wav extension.
To add just a link for someone to click on to hear
the music:
<a href="filename.mid"> Listen to the music! </a>

To make music a User Option with a Console
that can be turned on or off:
<embed src="filename.mid" WIDTH=145 HEIGHT=65>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid">
</noembed>

To make the music play automatically Once
only when the page downloads:
<embed src="filename.mid" autostart=true>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid">
</noembed>
To make it continuous when the page loads:
<embed src="filename.mid" autostart=true loop=true>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=infinite>
</noembed>

You can also change the size of the console
by using the the HEIGHT, WIDTH command.
<embed src="filename.mid" WIDTH=145 heigt=35>

Or to produce a small console:
<embed src="filename.mid" WIDTH=51 HEIGHT=15 CONTROLS="smallconsole">
<noembed> <bgsound src="filename.mid" CONTROLS="smallconsole">
</noembed>
