Web Page Link Method To Play QT Streaming Audio?

Question

I need to insert a link in a web page that will play a 3 minute MP3 as it streams, not when it fully downloads.
When the link on my page is clicked, I need the MP3 to play in the QT progress bar stop/start pop-up when the start pointer is clicked (or automatically when the page link is clicked but not when the page itself is opened as in Flash) that will still allow the original page to show, and not blank out the screen with a new white page that displays only the QT progress bar.
I've seen these online. Can anyone direct me to the code or procedure to do this?
Thanks - Gina

Here is what I did...
1. I created the video in Snapz Pro. Then I saved it to my desktop.
2. Next, I uploaded the image file, which is a .mov file to my web site. I put mine in a folder called img.
3. Now this is the best part, go to this web site:
http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step2_qtv2.php?mediatype=QuickTime
4. I selected Web Server and then went to the next screen. On the next screen, add the web server name and the file path. I am a newbie so I made the mistake of adding the entire file path. You only need to add the info. after the web name. Example:
My web server is: http://www.robenmariesmith.com
My file path is: img/tutorials/PSActionsTutorial.mov
Select the pixel image size for your largest image for width and height.
Make the other selections that it requests and click Submit.
5. On the next screen you can actually test your media. If all is working, copy and paste the code into your web site.
Let me know if you need any more help and I will help if I can!
