Depends what you're using. If you're doing FrontPage (gag), then you can just copy and paste or click and drag your music into the directory of your web page. If you want to put them on a server somewhere you'll need an ftp client. There are plenty out there.

http://www.help4web.net/webmaster/sound/AddBGMusic.html has more about adding the music, if you need more help with that.

If you want the music to run as a background, you should remember that many people HATE having background music running on a site. If you absolutely have to have it, be sure there is an option to turn it off. If you are just adding links that can be clicked for music on demand, ignore the previous.
Google is a good source for this type of information too, if you need more help.

You would upload a song to your directory in geocities using the same method that you upload a page or image. Then just use a virtual path to that song for your bgsound src tag. You don't need to make a separate page with links or anything like that.

There are a few other ways:
1.
<head>
<EMBED SRC="song.mid" AUTOSTART="TRUE" HIDDEN="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE">
<NOEMBED>
<BGSOUND SRC="song.mid" LOOP="INFINITE">
</NOEMBED>
</head>
(I have a file called song.mid , it could be a .mp3 also)

2. To use a button:
<input type="button" value="Play the Music" onClick="window.location='http://www.mostlyclassical.com/mp3/classical24k.pls'">
(this is for the internet radio)

3.
to do use a button for a directory file you have, you go:
<input type="button" value="Play the Music" onClick="song.mid">(I think)

first of all there should be no spaces in between the words in the name. Also, make sure it is at the top of the page in the <head>. Try renaming your file eminem-loseyourself.mp3, and changing it in the <html> too.
