There isn't a command that exists that can serve as an alternative to EMBED in
HTML 4.01 Transitional coding, is there?
I've historically used this command to play MIDI files in the background of my
webpages, and I'm finding out now it's kind of obsolete, even though most
browsers still accept it.
Thanks,

When I'm browsing in my cubicle at work or with the radio or TV on at
home, or even while I'm listening to music through my PC that *I* have
chosen to hear, and I come to a web site published by somebody who
assumes I want my coworkers disturbed, or that I want his choice of
music to drown out or end playback of the music *I* had chosen to
listen to, I leave that site immediately.

Not that I advocate embedded music, but if you don't want to hear the
music on web sites, then uninstall or disable your audio plug-in. If
you want to listen to the music on a certain site, then you can open it
in a helper applications. Not exactly rocket science, and better than
complaining.

Don't you have a power button on the speakers? I have, and normaly I
have the speakers off so I don't here anything (mostly don't even know
if a site have background music).
But sometimes I like to listen to a CD on my computer when I'm
surfing, and thoose times I get realy pissed off if I come to a site
where the background music mess with the CD I'm listening to!

Not easy to do for some people, and some software.

Though that still doesn't help some people, who don't need yet another task
(their sound system playing music) running at the same time. I've got one
crappy system, here, that just loves to crash whenever the sound card is
used. It's built-in, and not disableable. On both Windows and Linux it
behaves that way, so the last thing I'd want is for it to start playing
music unrequested.

I rather like my peace and quiet, though I usually have the sound running
so I can hear notifications from some applications that talk to me in that
way. I'm yet to come across a website playing music that didn't annoy the
hell out of me.
