First, you should know that you're only seeing the Quicktime bar because that's what you use on your computer(s). Other people may see Windows Media Player, Real Player, or who knows what else.

To fix it you should change this line:

<embed src="Intro.mp3" width=1000 height=200 autostart=true loop=true>

to this:

<embed src="Intro.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

And that should do it.

Now I was wondering though... why were you setting values for width and height? Also you should know that many people get annoyed (myself included) when I visit a webpage that starts making a lot of noise. I usually have Winamp running anyway, so the last thing I want is a noisy webpage. Embedded sound files really kinda died in the late 90's anyway, along with big animated GIFs and javascript alert() boxes.

I totally agree with dr Nick about 'sounds or songs' on websites. I usually press alt-F4 as soon as I hear something, before I realize why I wanted to see that site anyway. I only expect sites about artists, bands, and so on to have some music playing.
