Windows 2000 on my desktop & Firefox 3.6.0 I have the following code on a web page. The file plays on my Laptop with XP and the latest Internet Explorer, but not on the W 2000 machine. I tried to download the plug in I found, but it's only for XP and above.

Plug In wmpfirefoxplugin.exe

Code <bgsound src="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" loop="-1">

bgsound is non-standard coding and only works in Internet Explorer.

You could try replacing it with this:

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" height="0" width="0" autostart="1"> <noembed><bgsound src="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" loop="-1"> </noembed>

I tried both below. Neither worked. Both were inside the <head> </head> code area. +++++++++++++++++++++ <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" height="0" width="0" autostart="1"> <noembed><bgsound src="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" loop="-1"> </noembed> +++++++++++++++++++++ <object data="AmazingGraceLV.mp3" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="0" height="0">

 <param name="filename" value="AmazingGraceLV.mp3">

Since this is a web development issue rather than a Firefox problem, you would be better off asking this in the web development forum at mozillazine - - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25
