How do I keep a background wav file playing in a photogallery? It stops when
a thumbnail is selected to view.
 
Not possible. And don't use wav files. They are much too large to use
on the Internet. Use MP3 or a streaming format such as WMA.

You may be able to do this if you place the photogallery inside a frameset.
You could then place a background music into the other frame so while
browsing around in one frame the other frame playing the music remains
constant. I haven't tried this with a photogallery itself, but it's still
possible to do with other pages and really the only way to do this at all.

Hope this helps,

To add a small/large part of Windows MediaPlayer, only use this little part
of code:

<EMBED
SRC="Mix1.wav"
HEIGHT=30 WIDTH=79>
Paste as html, and use your own src pointing on your audio/video file.
This will only show a Pause/Start and Stop button + the slider, the music
(or also a video) will start when the site is loading. Try with using
different sizes, the more width the more of the players buttons, more hight -
if you wants to show a video, there is some specifications about the size,
but its better to test some..
Had to seek a long time to find this very simple but useful way of adding
buttons/player.
It is so simple as it looks (!) - missing it in the online help from MS,
where its not much about audio or video.
Got some video showing on my site, sometimes audio only :

Still astonished over what this short code can produce, have seen examples
with loads of scripts just to add a button. In your case right click on this
component and chose hidden, and use this code in a frame, and it should play
when showing a photogallery. You can also add: loop="true"
