i built a site for an opera singer

i have a page with 6 songs in:
http://www.tamar-k.com/bookings.asp

though i defind: autostart="false", in firefox all 6 songs start to play
autostart when the page loads.

it sound kind of happy, but it's not at all what i intended...

any way to cause firefox not to ignore autostart="false" ?

thanks

The best way to handle music on a page (in terms of consistency and better
user experience) is to embed the music in a flash file and then put playback
controls in the flash file.
