  • You can find the appropriate script on the web using search. Copy that code into your header.php file at the appropriate place and you will have music. Make sure (it will be in the script) to provide a viewer an obvious way to turn it off.

    Embedding sound files on a site is a guaranteed way to lose visitors. Bad idea … unless the site is geared towards 13 year olds.

    The piece of code kmessinger is referring to is “autostart=true”. If you decide to go ahead with this, make sure it’s set to “autostart=FALSE”, so people have to click the player to listen to what you want them to listen to, instead of music of their choice.

    I admit to being very opinionated on this subject – but 15 years of designing websites has taught me a few things about what people like, or DON”T like. Embedded sound files happens to be one of those DON”T LIKE’s.

    Except, of course, if they are 13 years old.

    Thanks for the comments and Saurus, you are entitled to your opinion and it is very much respected, especially with your design experience.

    However, I am still confused as to how I search for and find the script, can you be more specific please?
