  Open the web page with an editor of any kind, including even a text editor such as MS WordPad.

  Create the following code right after the "<head>" section of the web page,
  "<embed src="yourmusic.mid"> <noembed> <bgsound src="yourmusic.mid"> </noembed>." The listing for yourmusic.mid should be replaced with the name of your audio file. This can include more than just midi files. Save the file and upload it back to your site.

  Upload the audio file to the root directory of your website.
  
  If you want to use a file that resides somewhere else type the path in front of the file name, such as "<embed src=" http://mymusicsite.com/yourmusic.mid"."
