I've seen it done on many a website.. so it is possible.
I'm sure there is a simple HTML line that handles it..

Have a look at the methods outlined here. Just as a sidenote though, inline or embedded sounds are extremley tacky and annoying in my opinions. I much prefer the option to allow the user to open the sound themselves either with a hyperlink or button. It can get quite annoying when you open a web page and sound starts blarring out of your speakers

I use this:

Code:

<body><embed src="./sounds/imperial_march_1.wav" autostart=true loop=true volume=100 hidden=true>
	<noembed>
		<bgsound src="./sounds/imperial_march_1.wav">
	</noembed></body>

Trigger is correct in that it can be absurdly annoying.

It's incredibly annoying if you're already listening to something as it tends to clash horribly. Please don't put any music on your site for the good of humanity.

What he said

Although I suppose a link to let you listen to it would be acceptable.

Provided it's optional and fits with the site, it can be great - see the Xploding Plastix site for a good example
