I should shoot you for thinking of putting background music on a website, but you really have two options.

1. Embed a tiny Flash player whose only function is to play an MP3 song.

2. Embed a MIDI file.

Make sure you provide a way to shut off the music no matter which way you go.

It's a much, much better idea to use Flash like I described in option #1 for what you're doing. I assume you're taking a sample of the band's music, digitizing it to WAV/MP3/WMA format and now planning on putting it online? The Flash option would be perfect for that.

it's gonna slow the site way down due to loading times if not done properly. Sadly, I have no clue how to do it properly.

Search google for embedding sounds.

Plus, this is the wrong forum for such questions.

Music on webpages is annoying, unless i choose to play it, okay? Put it on there, but don't have it play by itself when the user gets to the page; give the user an option, like "hear the latest single!!" or something to that extent.
