auto start music files on webpage

I am trying to make a website. Does anybody here know how to start a music file when someone visits a page in your website. It file starts automatically when they visit the page. Thanks

take a look here:

just be aware that most people, myself included, feel that having music forced on them is bad taste. at least make it where it can be shut off, or better yet make it where the visitor has to click it to listen.

I agree. I hate going to a web site that automatically plays music, and you can't stop it. Very annoying. I leave it immediately.

Ditto. Your best bet is to embed a player with the value autoplay="false". Let the visitor choose wether or not he/she cares to hear music.
