If music is put into the background of a site, as in Embed or BGSOUND, how 
is an "off" button used? I would like to add that into my sites, but 
haven't found a satisfactory solution yet.

And while I have music in a couple of my pages, I only recall the IE way of 
putting in background sound.

<bgsound src="sounds/howl.wav" loop="2">

NN uses Embed, and I think you use Embed first, then bgsound nested inside 
it, for use by both browsers, but as I disabled it on NN (since it only 
allowed the sound on a different blank page with just the sound controls), 
I don't have the code available, but I can check at home tonight, if 
someone else hasn't commented by then.

That's a start, I hope it helps.
