I am using the following code:

[size=1]\< embed src=[color=#0000f0]“music/[php code]\<?php echo $src; ?\>.mp3”[/color] width=[color=#0000f0]“300”[/color] height=[color=#0000f0]“45”[/color] autostart=[color=#0000f0]“true”[/color] controls=[color=#0000f0]“smallconsole”[/color]\>\< /embed\>[/size]  
[size=1]  
[/size][size=1][size=1][size=2]to play music on my site.[/size]

Want i want to happen is when the song is finished, a new, random song loads. I can do the random song loading bit but i dont know how to detect when the current song has finished. Any ideas?
