I want to have a certain background sound play for 2 loops, then I want a second sound to play. I can get them to overlap and play simultaneously, but not separately. the delay tag doesn't seem to work .... this is what i have so far

<head><BGSOUND SRC="scarynur.wav" LOOP="2" TITLE="creepy">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<embed SRC="scream1.wav" DELAY=12>
<body>

but it doesn't work. any suggestions? PS, I don't have any wav/midi editing software to merge the two sounds into 1 file.

If you want to play multiple songs in an embed tag, create a playlist file. m3u is the extension for a universal playlist.

This is how you do it.

1) Make sure all your songs are saved in the same directory folder.

2) Open Notepad (or other text editor) and type the URL for each song. For example:

http://www.mysource.com/music/song1.wav
http://www.mysource.com/music/song2.wav
http://www.mysource.com/music/song3.wav

3) Once you have them all typed, save the text file with the .m3u extension. (e.g., mymusic.m3u)

4) Type your code, for example:

' <embed src="http://www.mysource.com/music/mymusic.m3u" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

If you want your viewers to see the media player, set hidden to false. And if you don't want the songs to repeat the sequence, set loop to false as well.

Hope that helps!

Personally, I like the playlist solution, but if you want to combine the various sound files into one, Audacity is a (too?) powerful open-source audio editor. Goldwave is a quality sound editor, more intuitive than Audacity but the evaluation version limits the number of uses per session (you will easily be able to combine the audio files before you reach this limit).
