When I use the following code to play a radio station it works well
and the station plays as soon as the page loads.
But, I want the page loads without automatically playing and to let
the user starts the play by pressing the "Play" button.
However, when I change the parameter
to
it does not work.
What is the problem or what else needs to be done?
Here is the code:

The probably is proprietary system operands and active-x in general.

I have a working example at http://www.cwdjr.info/test/ng.php using
the radio station you selected. I had to use slightly different code
from usual since this a streaming asf file rather than a .wma file.
The player code you were using was designed for a WMP. If you do not
have a WMP, then the code will not work. Thus I have a text click link
just above where the player will be. What you get when you click it
depends on your computer setup. In many cases this link will allow
playing on players other than WMP that will support asf streaming
files. If you want the code in html 4.01 strict, view the source using
an IE browser. If you want the code in xhtml 1.1, view the code on a
recent Firefox or Opera browser. The page as written works, using
either the WMP that comes up or the text link, on IE6, and the most
recent versions of Firefox, Opera, and Safari 3 for a Windows XP or
above OS. It works using the most recent WMP 11 which can be
downloaded only to Windows XP or Vista OSs.

Your example is spot on!!! It is just what I wanted. Thank you so
much.
And I spent hours playing around with the 'autoStart' parameter
without much success.
The second half of your code handles even Firefox. What can I say?
It's more than I bargained for.
