Step 1: Open your web page. Paste the following code right above the </body> tag:

// IMPORTANT: 
// If you add this script to a script-library or script-archive 
// you have to add a link to http://www.fabulant.com on the webpage 
// where this script will be running.

// CONFIGURATION STARTS HERE

// Replace the below soundfiles with your soundfiles
// You may add as many soundfiles as you like (midi, wav whatever)
var sound=new Array("sound1.mid","sound2.mid","sound3.mid","sound4.mid","sound5.mid")

// CONFIGURATION ENDS HERE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

var randomsoundenumber=Math.floor((sound.length)*Math.random())
document.write("<EMBED SRC='"+sound[randomsoundenumber]+"' AUTOSTART='TRUE' LOOP='FALSE' WIDTH='0' HEIGHT='0' ALIGN='CENTER'>")
document.write("<NOEMBED>")
document.write("<BGSOUND SRC='"+sound[randomsoundenumber]+"' LOOP='1'>")
document.write("<NOEMBED>")
document.write("</EMBED>") 
// - End of JavaScript - -->
</script>
