I don't know what you're doing wrong.
Perhaps you can.... Post you code?

[xquizit]

It works. Perhaps you didn't paste your music URLS correctly or the links are broken. How about post what you did.

[mezzanine]

i just input the artist names and then the URLs and then i tried to get it to work and some of the script was showing on the page so i used <!-- and it didn't work so i took it out and then just tried it WITH the script showing and when you click on a song and press play it won't play and sometimes a script error pops up when you click play. I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK.

and the URLs are good becasue they work when i use them individually to play just one background song.

show us the code with the urls in there and maybe i could help i mean u no the one right out of ur xanga look and feel and did u put it in header?

[mezzanine]

i think the reason it isn't working is because i have scrolling text at the bottom of my screen....

is there a script i can use to change the location of the player?

...apparently it's automatically being sent ontop of my scrolling text and therefore won't work....how do i move it?...thanks for your help by the way guys.

u can use div layers

first 3 topics are on div layering

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

yeah. if you don't know DIV layers that well, they're a little tricky in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it it should work fine. ( + you know how to do other things )
