I want the music on my sites homepage (www.PIT-MASTER.com) to play continuously throughout the entire site while moving from page to page. Anyone know how to do this? I'm using Dreamweaver 8. Thanks alot.

Hi.

Try this....

Music Player
Code:
<embed src="filename.mid" width=145 height=55 autostart=true loop=true> 
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=infinite>
</noembed>

Hidden Music Player (Background Music)
Code:
<embed src="filename.mid" hidden=true autostart=true loop=true> 
<noembed>
<bgsound src="filename.mid" loop=infinite> 
</noembed>
Edit the approproate sections and add it to your webpage.

I have this in my code but it only plays on the home page. If I enter it in each of my sub pages code, it restarts after entering each page. Any ideas?

That's how it works.

VSICCA,

We are all professional web developer/designers here and I would bet to say that every singe one of us would say that putting this on your site is not a good idea.

You might think its a nice idea but most of your visitors will not. They are either going to turn it off almost immediately or they will leave your site. You don't want this.

Trust us on this one. We really do nkonw what we're talking about... It is a bad idea to put music on a Web site like this.. !!!!!

If you want to put music on your site, I'd say have it default off and give the browser an option to turn it on. I personally hate being forced to listen to music I don't like. It turns me off to the site.

I wouldnt put music on the website but to answer your question... It would more than likely cause you more trouble than its worth. To do this you would have to set up a main page with an iframe. Then you would have to have the music on the main page so all the other pages load in an iframe. The reason this is more trouble than it is worth is because search engines and iframes don't work too well... I'm sure if you read other topics you will see why.

Another solution would be to have your site in a normal framed page with the index pahe haveing 2 areas but one area being 0 width etc and it haveing the embeded music so it plays but is not visible and you navigate your site normally...

Music on sites is annoying, slows the page down, and I just don't like it.

I would recommend taking it off unless it serves a purpose.

Vsicca, IMHO try to avoid music for your site many ppl will find it irritating if it is not of their flavor. But if you have decided then its OK,
I would suggest you to provide an option which can be used to stop the background music. This will help to retain your visitor
even your site is devoted to music.
