Thanks, Acorn: I was playing around with it last night using the <audio> tag in the control placeholder, as I mentioned above, and I started having some sort of weird problems, so I ended up pasting that HTML line into the main body and deleting the audio placeholder completely. It seems to work fine now, but is sort of a work around for something I feel like they could have included.. a third option to have the audio auto start when the page loads, but also hidden? Anyway, it seems to work fine now and isn't something I use very much. It also something that I will keep subtle so it doesn't turn viewers off, as I agree with you on that. Also, I'll add the line, "Your browser does not support the audio element." for those with earlier IE versions.
