Musical glitches

*************ahhhhhhhhhhhhh****** I just accidentaly deleted half my template and published it without half the code and so lost all my changes - aahhhhhhh- I had to choose an new one to replace it I lost everything wahhhhh**************
I am just starting in html and have run into some problems.
I am trying to have the possibility for people to play music from the web page.
I have made 3 attempts using different code that I found but none of it worked properly and I don't know how to make it work - could someone please help?
I first tried with the EMBED tag - but this is not the standard and so I tried the object tag as another website suggested. now I have two different browsers to choose from - IE and FireFox. with the first code IE worked on my computer but caused the browser to close on the main computer :-) though MSN explorer worked on the other computer. the second code failed generally. and the third code has very interesting effects. on FireFox the quick time plug-in ends up with a question mark over the control panel bit and IE has a thing for scrollable text but no controls - which is weird - I thought it worked yesterday. Now the three versions of the code should be below if not - I don't know how to make it display the code rather than executing it - so I am putting it in from the compose mode and hoping that works. oh dear it didn't. - but the third official version displays the name of the song. - Instead I will turn all the triangle brackets to ( ) ones and see if that works. anyway any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

dont understand all the comp language, but the music does work, only problem is it stops once you exit the main page.

Yes I fixed it sort of - there are now two different codes running the first and the last ones - I learn't a lot fixing this but it is still not perfect - I think it no longer causes IE to crash but it still does not work in Firefox
