   Sorry, the past code wasn't quite correct

   width="400" height="27"
   codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0">

   value="audioUrl=http://148onedrum.simplweb.com/images/stories/drumming/the%20sky%20is%20the%20same.mp3"
   />

   Hi Barrie - thanks for this and I see that you put the new code in that
   module. You need to remember that some of the folks (like me) you email with
   our true novices!! So I assume I was suppose to copy and paste the code
   from below in to the site. I just copied it from the module and placed it in
   an article. But you should know, when I see the code below, my immediate
   reaction is: Huhhh?????

   Anywho, I have the sound clip in my welcome article on the homepage. I was
   hoping people could listen to the clip while they browsed thru the site.
   BUT, it turns off when I navigate away from the homepage. Any way to make it
   play continuously through all the pages until they leave the site ??

   Thanks

   Terry

   Hi Terry

   I think that would be really annoying for visitors. Best to let them
   choose to hear it
