Do you want the visitor to be able to select which one they want, or just song after song that loops?

I would strongly not recommend doing this.

For three reasons:

1) MP3's can be huge depending on quality and length. Dial-up users won't be happy, broadband users on monthly caps won't like it and your hosting company won't like it either.
2) Not all browsers will be able to play MP3's depending on the system setup.
3) Visitors might have other music playing and not be too keen to hear yours.

But if you must absolutely insist on doing this, Google the EMBED tag.

OOh, I didn't know that not all browsers can play mp3's. Thanks for mentioning that

Tell them that they'll get more appreciation if they offer the music as separate downloads (samples or whatever) rather than forcing it on everybody who comes by.

Oh and some people actually switch the option for background music off so they won't hear it either.

You can embed windows media player, your visitors will have the option of stopping the music.

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="music.mp3"></embed>

See this page http://msdn.microsof...mediaplayer.asp for a detailed explaination

To do what you're asking, you might want to check these out

This method will allow you to stream mp3s in a media player, as opposed to forcing the visitor to wait for each song to load before he can hear it. I haven't tried this out myself, so maybe someone else who has can give insight into it.

The only real other option I can think of is to convert the mp3s into streaming SWFs, then loading them into a Flash player. But that, of course, takes more work and a knowledge of Flash and actionscript. A lot of "band sites" tend to go this route, and yes, it actually works.
