Hmmm....I've never used the page builder at Geocities. I just upload
everything by FTP. It is faster and easier.

Judy, if you have been on this list for any length of time, you would
know that I advocate everyone learning HTML on their own and to avoid
editors that mindlessly write code for you.
However, if my plea goes on deaf ears here...LOL...no pun
intended...review the help page for background music for your page:

Read this page, too:

Well, consider this -- an mp3 may sound better, but they take forever
to load. Your visitor may not want to stay around waiting for that big
file to load.
Let me offer an alternative suggestion: streaming media...

If you will go that route, then your music will begin shortly after the
visitor loads the page.
