One single loop in Netscape. If your client insists on having this 
irritating sound in the page, then I'd suggest either using some sort 
of javascript to loop it or insert it into a simple flash movie where you 
can control the loop better.

 On another note, isn't there anyway of turning off the blasted 
quicktime message asking to upgrade to the professional version? 
Its enough to make me want to pull it entirely from my system.
