Trouble with autoplay music, It just won't start playing right off!!! Options

[cailean]

Okay so I'm using the drop box music code, not exactly the same as the one on this site...and I just want it to start playing right whenever you come onto my page. But instead of autostarting you have to push play first. Someone please help me out.

I purposefully removed the links to the music I use. So that's not the problem.

maybe it's playing but it just that it takes a while for the song to load (i.e. slow connection). do all your links work? also make sure there are no errors in your script.
