<bgsound="/Documents and Settings/Trish/My Documents/My Music/Ben
Folds/Rockin' the Suburbs/03 - Ben Folds - still
fighting it.mp3"> is incorect.
Don't put that full path into the bgsound tag since when its on the web
there will be no folder called "my documents..." etc
The file has to be within the web you're working on. Import the sound file
from "Documents and Settings/Trish/My Documents/My Music/Ben Folds/Rockin'
the Suburbs" to a folder within your web called, for example, "music" (for
the sake of simplicity).
In effect it is copying the file into your web (it will leave the original
file where it is).
So when publishedon the web it will look like
http://www.yoursite.com/music/03 - Ben Folds - still fighting it.mp3
Additionally, to avoid problems I'd delete all the spaces from the file
name: "03 - Ben Folds - still fighting it.mp3"; change it to something
like
"03-Ben Folds-still_fighting_it.mp3" (simply rename it within Frontpage in
the folder list view).
Being that the file doesn't seem to be in your web, is probably the reason
it doesn't show up in the file list through the Format > Background (etc)
dialogue box.
Hope this clears up the problem problem.
