Hi,

i'm designing a page for a friend who is showcasing a music album; she
wanted mp3 snippets of her songs posted for visitors' listening pleasure ...

I used this code for each of the 9 or so singles she wanted previewed:

<embed src="music_file1.mp3" autostart="false" loop="false" width="200"
height="28" controller="true" bgcolor="#FF9900"></embed>

this page takes a LONG, LONG time to load.

is there something in this tag that is forcing a cache or buffering of stuff
even before it is played?

any alternatives to simple little players with a play /pause /stop type of
thing?

thanks for any opinions..

Gary
