help w/ the music player, its location and how it plays Options

[crazybabii412]

Hey all! I have put a music drop-down list in the xanga skin I'm working. However, I have no idea how to move it. It kinda just sits in the middle of the blog. When I put the code in the Web Stats thing, it completely disappears. Also, I was wondering how to make it start out on song #1, rather than going to a random one.
Help would be magificent. Thanks!

Here's a link to my test xanga.

try using div layers to position it

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<div style="left=0; top=0; position=absolute;"><img src="IMG URL"></div>
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

find this part in your code

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var playstate = 1;
shuffle = 1;  // Set to 0 to always play first song in list
              // Set to 1 to randomly choose the first song to play
songs=new Array();

// Add song URLs here

make the 1 a 0 its right above your urls

For the div layering, do I post the code into the "IMG URL" part?

Is this what you mean?

All of that worked (thanks!) but there is a new problem. Whenever the site opens, the song doesn't play automatically. And the play button is missing. Can you help me find what is wrong with the code?
