I am trying to keep the media player as sleek as possible, so I set controls to "False". Problem is, I still see those controls. What am I doing wrong?

Code:
<object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112" type="application/x-oleobject" name="Back_In_The_Days" width="372" height="228" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." id="MediaPlayer">
  <param name="filename" value="http://guitargarage.tv/music/Billy_Chapman/Back_In_The_Days.wmv" />
  <param name="Showcontrols" value="False"/>
  <param name="autoStart" value="True"/>
  <embed src="http://guitargarage.tv/music/Billy_Chapman/Back_In_The_Days.wmv" autostart="True" width="372" height="228" type="application/x-mplayer2" name="Back_in_The_Days" filename="http://guitargarage.tv/music/Billy_Chapman/Back_In_The_Days.wmv"></embed>

Just a sudden idea, but I would try this as well
<param name="autoStart" value="0"/>

Hey Bagi, why 0? Wouldn't that be the same as False? If that is the case, I do want it to auto play. What I don't want, is for the controls to take up a bunch of space that could be used for the clip.

Work fine on IE7 - But in FF... Hmmmm

Only critisism with what your doing is the user has no way in stopping the video (unless they rightclick the vid...)

Why not convert it to a flash movie?

That way you can add the controls over the top of the movie and give people a choice.
Plus, you reduce the issues with users having the right software to play the file in the first place.

Cool song by the way!

Hey Rolda, funny you should mention it working in IE, I discovered it does work better than FF. How Bizzarro!

The controls should be there, they are scrunched into the bottom of the i frame when I view it. I would love to get a much more streamlined player, but can't seem to get it. As for Flash, I don't want to go that route for two reasons- 1, I don't have the apps to do it right, and 2, I will eventually be doing live streams, and I don't know that Flash can do that as well or as easy as Windows Media.

By the way, I have uploaded a few new songs, so which one was it you liked? Oh, and Thanks so much for your honest views everyone.
