Ok, here's an extremely ugly hack, but it works in IE6/8, Opera, Chrome, FF3, and Safari: http://pastie.org/915231
It also doesn't load the entire mp3 file before playing it like the old bgsound version did. I'm not too familiar with the object and embed tags so there's probably more junk in there than is really needed. There's another version here that uses windows media player for all browsers rather than just IE: http://wekkerradio.berkheij.nl/# ...but that didn't work for streaming mp3s for me. I haven't done much testing either, so it's probably buggy. -Junk On Apr 11, 11:49 am, Junkshops <junksh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, the problem seems to be that sound.js detects IE and then uses > the bgsound tag to play music - but IE8 doesn't support bgsound.
