Depends on how that background music was planted into the web page. If it's a Flash swf, you simply need to install the Flash Player (if you haven't already done so).

If it's an <object> embedding an instance of WMP / Real / Quicktime, you need to have those installed, of course.

If it's an <embed> tag, the webmaster should die by crucifixion.

If it was done using the bgsound attribute of the <body> tag, the webmaster should die by crucifixion.

i have flash player installed, i'm simply trying to hear my xanga music.

i clicked on the BGSOUND to EMBED 0.0.5 link....clicked download, but nothing happened. is it because it just quietly installs itself? because i still dont hear anything

It's played using an embed tag.
