Name: ct3/michaelanthony24After I read this I went and checked it out myself again using IE instead of Mozilla and your right it is working fine. Does anyone know why it doesn't work when I open it with Mozilla? Is there a fix for it?

It doesn't work because you're using a sound tag that mozilla doesn't recognize <bgsound src=""> bgsound src= is an IE only tag and only works in IE.
You need to replace that tag with a more browser friendly embed tag which will work in both IE and mozilla (and netscape, firefox, opera etc.) Try this instead...
<embed src="https://www.angelfire.com/ct3/michaelanthony24/Tears_in_Heaven.mid"
loop="true" hidden="true">
see the link above for more things you can do with the embed tag for sound. Make sure to remove the bgsound src= tag before adding the embedded sound or your midi will play double in IE.
