i would love to do that, if only one of you could be so kind to help me out. i come here to get my skills. some of you obvisouly come here to make me cry, and sad. :(

Google has been mentioned several times already. If you can't figure that out then you will never
get any skills.

Embedding sound in html can be somewhat problematic... i.e. IE and Netscape are different, but there is a tag that can be used similarly that yields pretty fair results.

<EMBED src="/whereveryouhave.mp3" hidden=false autostart=false controls=console
height="#" width="#" loop=false>

that will set up a little control panel to play when they choose to play. now I am assuming that you understand most of the attributes of the tag so I will give very little explanation on that tag. This should work for most all IE users. It has been a while since I have used any of my html so I hope this works.

or have an option page with 2 options, silent or musical

Like this? (check the source and you can see)... simple and effective. Before anyone rags on this concept further, it was done for myself because I like the song.
