I am having a hard time adding music to the background. it is a wav file and
i have already tried the recommended way (by going to background sounds and
trying to upload the file.) but i'm not having any luck

Does the background music work in a web page preview, and just not work on
your site? How big is the .wav file? Have you tried a different .wav file?

Do a web page preview, and in your browser go View > Source. This will give
you a look at your source code in NotePad. Your first few lines of code
should look something like this:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice"
xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"

<bgsound src="index_files/sound266.mid" loop=1>


Forget the first part and look at the last line of code that references the
bgsound src. In the example I have added a .mid file, and you should have a
..wav file. If that line of code is there, then you should be getting sound
when you do a web page preview. If that line of code is not there, then you
have not added the sound file correctly. If the sound works in web page
preview, but not after you upload your web files, then perhaps the .wav file
is too big, and is just taking a long time to download. If the code is there
and you do not get a sound in a web page preview, then something is wrong
with your .wav file...try another. Also look in your index_files folder of
files you upload to your host. The .wav file should be in that folder if you
added the background sound correctly. You do not upload the .wav file
separately.
