Have you tried just linking directly to the file?  is it on a local hard  
disk?  if so try 
<a href="file:///C:/blahblahblah/play.mp3">play</a> 
and if it's on a web server 
<a href="http://www.example.com/play.mp3">play</a> 
Providing you have a plugin that allows it this should play in your  
browser.  If not it may ask if you wish to download it.

I don't understand.  Did you try linking it to an image?  as in 
<img 
src="./play.mp3" 
/> 
because that wouldn't work.  <img> is used for images only.
