I'll hunt it down

What your wanting is a jukebox, its done with JavaScipt, but like Suzanne has mentioned, it can be torture.

So many sites these days use midis or wavs on loops that are so annoying, remember not every one has the same taste as music as the next guy, I, like many others (I'm sure) surf with speakers turned off.

If you still want the script check out the dhtml and javascript sites that offer fre scripts, I'm sure its called "jukebox"

YOU'RE RIGHT

my friend wanted his HTML site to look, feel, and seem like a Flash site. It since I am still learning Flash, I persuaded him to redesign for an HTML site. THus, my original questions to you are no longer valid.

I'm with you about MIDI. If that's the option to go with, then the site will have no music. I am all for music on a site but only if there is an option for TURNING IT OFF.

thanks for your time and thoughts Suzanne.

Embed

It's been ages since I've even tried it, but you'll be wanting to embed the sound. Midis are the only way (I *think*) to embed sound without a player.

I'm not clear on the details, I think embed in Netscape and object in IE? Basically without using mp3s you're torturing your guests into long download times and crappy quality.

I personally don't feel that sound adds much to a site, including Flash sites, though Flash sites have the advantage of me not having to deal with sound programs.

Hope that gets you started looking, anyway!
