EDIT: use this

<embed src="http://www.domain.com/song.wma" (http://www.domain.com/song.wma) autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

that simple code will do. i'd put it in between body tags.

ohhhhhhhhh... ok... i misunderstood what you wrote.

ok, so if you encode that, the song will play automatically and loop only for that page. i haven' worked with html in a while so i don't know the BEST way to make a song play automatically and loop for every page of the site. one way i've done it is to make frames.

click (http://teamkos.nuclearfallout.net)

that is a website i built that sort of has what you want. obviously no songs are uploaded so that's why it doesn't play but that's not important. however, that method requires you to create two frames in your main page (index): one for your main site and another for your jukebox page (where you play music). but this method is only good for if you want the website viewer to have a choice of whether or not he or she can stop/play the song or choose another song. it's not the most practical way to do it if you want only one song to be available to listen to, but i tried =/

EDIT: the method i posted also works with iframes. i'm not sure which type of website you're creating but if you're doing it for a online journal site (like xangay), then just using that code above on the actual page with the iframe in it would work fine since the pages inside the iframe will only respond to whatever link you click on.
