The <bgsound> element is a non-standard element. Use the <audio> element instead.

I don't know which audio element to use. If i use the example in my page as it it works, but when I change the music link to my wav or midi it won't work.

EMBED or OBJECT should work, but you probably need to specify a type to tell Firefox which plugin to use type="application/x-mplayer2" will make Firefox use the Windows Media Player. 

<embed src="http://ethels-creations.angelfire.com/MUSIC-01/always.mid" type="application/x-mplayer2" loop="5">

You will have to install the WMP to make this work.

The WAV file doesn't work with the audio element (likely it is an unsupported format/codec) and Firefox doesn't support MIDI natively, so you need to use an embed or object to play the WAV file.

  • Media resource http://ethels-creations.angelfire.com/MUSIC-01/golden-girls.wav could not be decoded.

I can play the WAV file on Linux with a plugin using this code. I do not have a plugin to play MIDI, but I can hear the file if I paste the URL in the location/address bar. 

<embed src="http://ethels-creations.angelfire.com/MUSIC-01/golden-girls.wav" type="application/x-mplayer2" loop="5">

Otherwise you have to use a Flash media player that can handle this WAV file.
