<audio src="/music/good_enough.mp3">
<p>If you are reading this, it is because your browser does not support the audio element.     </p>
</audio>

and if you want the controls

<audio src="/music/good_enough.mp3" controls>
<p>If you are reading this, it is because your browser does not support the audio element.</p>
</audio>

and also using embed

<embed src="/music/good_enough.mp3" width="180" height="90" loop="false" autostart="false" hidden="true" />

How to play an audio file in the background after clicking a link? (no embed)

Actually the href attribute is redirecting you to the new page, you can use e.prevenDefault() in the link click event handler to stop this redirection and create a dynamic audio element with this href as source and play it.

This is what you need:

function playItHere(e, link) {  var audio = document.createElement("audio");  var src = document.createElement("source");  src.src = link.href;  audio.appendChild(src);  audio.play();  e.preventDefault();}

<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/ACDC_-_Back_In_Black-sample.ogg" onclick="playItHere(event, this)">Pronunciation of a word</a>

Playing MP3 in background of webpage

If you don't want the controls to be shown, delete the controls atribute, but add the autoplay atribute instead:

<audio loop="loop" autoplay="autoplay">
    <source src="NyanCat.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
</audio>

Anyway, it's always a good idea to give the user the control to play/stop the music.
