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
