Yeah, The Starkiller has embedded them using Windows Media Player, but Microsoft never made an embeddable version for any browsers other than its own.
Starkiller, a better option would be Quicktime Player, but probably the best option would be to use a Flash play button and include the MP3 link for those without Flash installed. You can get a Player Button from musicplayer.sourceforge.net. Just download the latest version of the Player Button version and replace your Windows Media code with the following -
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="musicplayer.swf?&song_url=sounds/03_stormtrooper_mono.mp3" width="17px" height="17px">
<param name="movie" value="musicplayer.swf?&song_url=sounds/03_stormtrooper_mono.mp3" />
<a href="sounds/03_stormtrooper_mono.mp3">Link</a>
</object>

Just replace the three URLs to the appropriate MP3 file and change the Flash file URL if you don't have it in the same folder as the HTML page. Also, you may decide to move the link on the third lone to outside the object tag so that the link always appears, personal choice.
