    Music

    Does anyone know where you can download/purchase background music for your website? I dont mean things that annoy, just nice background tunes

    *volunteers opinion*

    Music slows down the loading of the site, and is annoying especially if you're watching TV or listening to music already. I always close sites with music on them.

    Music in general annoys!

    (google for some ambiant stuff)

    www.flashkit.com has a lot of music on it, some of which is free outright.

    I agree with Dan. Unless I'm on a site dedicated to music or a music artist, when someone else's music starts playing over mine, 95% of the time, the site loses - I go away and never come back.

    OK,

    Thanks for your opinions and help. What about having an off button?

    I already have an off button. It's the little red X in the corner of the screen

    How about an 'On' button? Now that I could handle!

    Good idea

    If they don't want to spend the time loading it then they dont have to.

    It loads regardless--just they don't have to hear it

    Might I suggest creating a Flash controller instead? By doing this, you can completely customize the look of the player, make it any size, offer more music options and the audio compression offered through Flash is pretty darned good. This is one of those cases where Flash really shines through, and it doesn't force you to use old, proprietary markup to get it on the screen

    Again FlashKit is a great place to look up tutorials that make creating Flash controls easy. If you don't have access to the software, well, I can't give you much more advice on this one. But if you do, I heartily recommend using it!

    Hmmm thanks.

    I'll try and integrate it into our existing flash navigation.
