Try for IE:
player.setLoopCount(0); //should play continuously in InternetExplorer

Try for FireFox: 
player.setLoopCount(-1); //should play continuously in FireFox

setLoopCount method uses WMP's 'playCount' property which requires a minimum of 
1 and an unspecified maximum value 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564339%28v=VS.85%29.aspx).  Any 
value outside of the range resets the 'playCount' property to 1, hence this bug.

It is now implemented by enabling loop mode in IE and using a rather high value 
(Short.MAX_VALUE) in non-IE (which does not support loop mode),  Can't imagine 
anyone prepared to watch the same media for that long anyway :-)
