CODE
<embed type="audio/mpeg" src="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/walker/harmony2/files/big_singing/NewBritain.mp3" width="200" height="15" autostart="false" loop="false">


Hi, I am trying to embed an mp3 file in a webpage, and it works fine in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox the audio cuts off after just a few seconds. I have tried various variations of this code, including using the object tag instead, all to no avail. Firefox is using the Quicktime plugin to play the audio. Could there be a bug in the plugin or am I missing something? Thanks!

I think that is a firefox error.

Let me Explain:
FireFox probably starts the music sooner than IE does, so that makes it so it doesn't buffer all of the way.
