How do I add an mp3 file as a background sound?

I am trying to add an mp3 music file as a background to my home page. The
help file says that mp3's can be added if I type in the file (they are not
found by the browser). I have done this, but the file is not saved. Do I need
to save the mp3 file in my website folder?

Go to the Page Properties

Go to the background sound field

Click the browse button, browse to the folder with the music file,

If it is not listed (FP seems to not list mp3's)

Type "*.mp3" in the 'filename' field presse [enter], and it will list all
the MP3 files,

Choose the file

Click OK etc out of the dialogue.

Save the web page, preview in FP or in a browser.

This may not work in browsers other than IE. (bgsound=....) is an IE only
feature.
add "<embedd="music/yourfile.mp3"> by hand-coding under the spot in Codeview
where bgsound is located - Frontpage puts it in the <head> section.
