@bathurst_guyJul 23.2005 — #well this would really annoy me unless i had some method of turning it off. I would do it as a swf file with the options to stop play and skip the songs.
@bathurst_guyJul 23.2005 — #yes it would, i want to listen to music when i want to listen to music not when some web site plays it for me, no matter what the genre
@neewahJul 23.2005 — #And perhaps you could get even more advanced and use PHP and JavaScript to allow users to create their own playlist on your site!!
@BeachSideJul 30.2005 — #[CODE]<HTML> <Head> </Head> <Body> <Embed Src="media/PlayList.wax" Width=70 Height=40 Loop=1></Embed> <!-- Loop=1 means loop forever --> </Body> </HTML>[/CODE] [/QUOTE] You need to format your code properly... you should have double quotes around your attribute values
Also loop="-1" is the attribute to loop infinitely not loop="1" that will play it once just like loop="0" will
One more thing the embed tag is not a standard complient tag you should think about using something else such as the object tag
::Edit::
Oh and I almost forgot you should actually use playcount in an embed and true or false for loop not a number
@webstaJul 30.2005 — #I recommend the open source (free) flash-based player at [URL=http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net]http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net[/URL].
They have three versions: full-sized player, slim version (just the current track), and a on/off button version (customizable colors). It looks professional, really clean design -- much better than many paid versions I've seen for sale.
I have used the on/off button version for a site at [URL=http://barjetranch.com]http://barjetranch.com[/URL]. The client wanted a western feel to the site. Users seem to love it.
Can you imagine a movie, TV show or commercial without background music? It really helps convey an emotional context for a site.
Usability studies have found improved completion of computer-based tasks with orchestral music playing (vs. no music)(and "punk" -- whatever they meant by that :rolleyes: ).
But don't get me started on midi files :mad: . And, yes, IMO, an off button is essential (especially for users at work!)
Good luck! Be sure to post your URL so we can check out the results of whatever you do!
