Music won't play

[BuffDaddy]

I've put background music on two pages (I know, I know... nobody likes music
on pages, but it's a rock band website...) and when I load the website in a
browser (from the net) on the computer that I do the web work on, it plays
perfectly. But when I and others access it from another computer, nothing
plays. I've tried everything I know (which isn't a whole lot, I admit) and I
can't figure it out. I'm using FrontPage 2002. Website:
www.metaljustice.com. Help anyone?

Your code is directed to your hard drive:

<bgsound src="file:///C:/My%20Webs/MetalJustice/_private/EnterLoop.mp3"
loop="-1">

Change the code to:

<bgsound src="_private/EnterLoop.mp3" loop="-1">

and all should be well, as long as your mp3 is actually uploaded in the
_private folder.

Thanks. Let me try this. I figured it was something stupidly simple.

Thanks for this. It was definitely the problem. But when I edited the HTML
in FrontPage, it put the reference back to the c: drive each time I saved the
page. The way I got it to work was I published everything and then went
directly to the hosted site and edited the code there. This allowed me to
determine that you correctly identified the problem, but it's a pain to have
to do this each time I publish updates to the site. Isn't there a way that
FP should take out the reference to the c: drive automatically?

Make sure that you have a web / site open by using File Menu | Open Web / Site and that the file has
been imported into the current open web.
