I use Firefox and I know a lot of people use iE

So I found this code to put sound on my page.

Itold me it wouls work for iE and Firefox users.

<embed src="music.mid" width=145 height=55 autostart=true loop=true>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="music.mid" loop=infinite>
</noembed>
It did nothing.

I thought it goes between the Head Tags?

Thank goodness for that. I'd gladly bash the bgsound tag into permanent obliteration... It's possibly the worst HTML tag ever invented.

It's not part of any official HTML spec (thankfully) and therefore browser support will be very limited (phew.)

Is there a code to autoplay wav or mp3 files for both iE and firefox?

Not a reliable tag, no. Why on earth would you want to commit such a crime anyway?
