This rule works. Thanks.

<embed src="http://www.ibiblio.org/chinese-music/MP3/
TD11.Colorful_Clouds_Chasing_Moon.mp3" loop='true' hidden='true'
autostart='true' />

I like to use object, and tried to replace the above embed tag with
the following object tag.

<object data="http://www.ibiblio.org/chinese-music/MP3/
TD11.Colorful_Clouds_Chasing_Moon.mp3">
<param name='autostart' value='true'/>
<param name='hidden' value='true'/>
<param name='loop' value='true'/>
</object>

But it didn't work. I guess the syntax is incorrect. Teaching is
appreciated. But I heard embed is a better compromise for different
browsers. Thanks again.
