Answer 1

As far as I know, you can't embed mp3 like that. Use <audio> tag instead.

Example:

<audio id="embMusic" src="iwantyou.mp3"></audio>

And then from javascript:

document.getElementById('embMusic').play();

Or you can do it without the <audio> element, just with javascript, like this:

var audio = new Audio();
audio.src = "iwantyou.mp3";
audio.play();
