Loading Screen Music - Still possible?

Heya guys, I've just recently started hosting a gmod server on my machine and have been trying to work out how to add music to the loading screen. I haven't got any coding skills so I essentially depend on guides and guesswork but so far I've had no luck.

The most recent guide I was able to find and follow was this (7 months old): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd2c4Qo8hHw

After following that guide the loading screen image loads fine but no music plays. I tried my own .mp3 as well as the Youtube video methods (found both html codes on that video link and in the comments of the video) but the music refused to play in-game. It worked fine on the link itself. It also seems most people in the comments from 4 months ago onwards have been unable to get music working. Has anyone managed to do this successfully on their own server? And if so how? Thanks.

I would recommend down sizing the mp3 file to a ogg file type. And I use a loading screen called crystal load.

Thanks for the reply! I changed the file type to ogg like you said and edited the code to use <audio instead of <embed and it's working now. I'll check out Crystal load too. Thanks again!
