by your title, "BGsound" i think you want to have an .mp3 file play when a user opens your site?

if yes, just upload the song to your server however you normally upload files (ftp, browser, etc.), then embedding it into the page is much like putting a picture in. just stick in the filename of the song, relative to the page you are embedding it to

example:

sorry, i thought you were talking about on a website of your own. Its for a myspace page, maybe??

the way it works is you need somewhere to store the mp3 that is on the internet, that can be accessed all the time. this is a web server. then you need to generate code based on the address of that mp3 (on the internet).

i believe you could just register like a freewebs account or something, and upload your mp3 to that server ( they can give you instructions on how to do so), then put the address of the mp3 in the code i gave you, example: http://www.freewebs.com/user/mymp3s/mysound.mp3, or something to that extent. then just place that in the tag (<embed src blah blah)... and put that on your webpage (or myspace, as i am guessing) and voila! you have music.

hope this helped,
chris
