Background music not working??

Here's the code I'm using:

<script language="Javascript">
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') > -1)
{
document.write('<bgsound src="Norah Jones - Sunrise.mp3"
loop="1">');
} else {
document.write('<embed src="Norah Jones - Sunrise.mp3"
autostart=TRUE hidden=true loop="1">');
}
</script>

and here's the site:

http://cc.usu.edu/~cassia/index.html

Am I supposed to add that code to all the pages on the site?

I will be the first to say it.....

You are not supposed to add that code to any page on the site.....

If it isn't IE, you use a non-existent BGSOUND tag and expect it to work?

Whatever does work, of course you have to have it on each page. When you
leave a page, you leave the whole page, audio included.

But if you include it on each page, it'll start from scratch each time
the user goes to a new page.

The real answer is: it annoys users greatly to have sound unexpectedly
coming out of their browsers. How do you know they're not in a cubicle
at the office, or at a meeting, or in a library? Or maybe they're
already listening to music, or watching TV or a movie. How do you think
they'll react to your decision that they should listen to your music
instead?

If you have a neat tune you think they *might* like to listen to, give
them link to click, so they can listen to it in their music player
instead of having it play in the browser.

I uploaded it again, it seems it didn't load correctly, but would that
code work? HTMLdog.com doesn't appear to have the code for adding
background music...This is for a class, and I just need to have an
"enhancement" so I thought I'd throw in music.

I definitely agree...but like I said, it's just for a class. And I'm
not really sure what an "enhancement" entails....? Unless you've got
any ideas??

If you have a neat tune you think they *might* like to listen to, give
them link to click, so they can listen to it in their music player
instead of having it play in the browser.

Great idea, so is the code that they would click to link the same as if
I were linking to another image or page?

No need to go quite that far, nearer is to give them a choice
though.

Yes, exactly.
