Making assumptions like that makes your site look like it was created by an amateur. Best strategy is to provide your own player. The easy route is Flash based. Thia assumes that they have flash installed, but that is a very safe bet. There is a very nice FOSS player at musicplayer.sourceforge.net. If you dig around there a bit you will find some code for "twiced cooked" that you can copy/paste. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Chrome glitches?
I disagree strongly with your statement--see next. However, I agree that automatic playing of music is not acceptable when visiting a web page. For my web site, I am not automatically playing music when the page is entered. There is a link to a "listen to music" page from the home page. Once the link is clicked upon, the listen page is shown. In that page, there are links to select the kind of music to be played. No click on link, no music. If a link is selected then a popup opens that should play the music just once. The listener can close the popup and stop the music at any time by clicking on either the close button or the close link in the popup. Embed is the only way that I know how to include music or video in a web page. If there is another way, please let me know. According to how it is used, both automatic playing and otherwise requires the statement AFAIK.

You mean that is how it gets played without any action on the person's part. It is a shame that people still try to do this kind of thing - no audio or video should be allowed unless the person browsing the site wants it. This is a huge feature plus for Chrome. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I am developing a web site. I found that Chrome -- I downloaded just for testing -- apparently does not recognize the embed statement in html. While embed is not standard html, it is how audio and video gets played on a web site. Firefox, IE, and Opera all recognize embed. Paul Meyer wrote: Anyone had glitches with chrome?
