I'm trying to use the above URL for my Xanga site. When I stick it in the appropriate field of the "Look & Feel" edit page and save it, I'm automatically brought back to the main "User" page (the one which displays all the options for the user) and when in this page the music URL works, I can hear it playing... but when I visit the "Public" side of my page no music. Any ideas, suggestions?

well if you put that in the music section of your look and feel. it *should* work regardless of either being in public or private. have you tried waiting to see if it loads?
