Hi,
I'm looking for a way to have a musicfile, that begins to play
automaticly when you start an app.
Is there some html code that I can implement or is there an other way?
thanks

Keep in mind that music clips are limited to 30 seconds and as of
right now, you can't stop playing them. They just stop when they have
finished.
That being said, you should be able to make it happen on init when the
app loads using JavaScript.
something like
var init = function() {
Device.init();
Device.PlaySound('some.wav');
}
..
<body onload="init();">...</body>
Good Luck

Can I make the suggestion that while this may sound like a good idea,
is this going to cost you processing time at start up (ie make your
app start slower) and does it really add to the user experience, or is
this a "hey look what I can do" feature? I use the apps on my phone
for (mainly) productivity related purposes and have dumped a few paid
apps in favor of having an app that simply opens quickly enough for me
to get or record the info that's on my mind at that point in time. I'm
in no way knocking the idea(cuz I don't know anything about your app
or its intended audience), I'm just the eternal usability tester.(sad
when your day job follows you home, no?)

The only thing that I can think of is that you might need a little bit
of a delay before you can start playing any sounds to give the page
time to load, and for the phonegap to become fully initialized.
