Quoting Ross Clutterbuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Matthew's raised a good point about cross-platform operability of the background music. As a result, I'd suggest using Flash instead.
Just make sure it's flash, not director. There is no director plugin for linux!
However I would strongly recommend putting in some form of playback control to actually turn the music off because unless you do it right and integrate the music with the overal web experience, background music is RIDICULOUSLY annoying. That being said though the really annoying stuff is embedded MIDI files so at least you'd have a decent file using MP3. But I do concur to a degree with Matthew's question of why they want background music anyway. As I mentioned unless you're enhancing the user experience by integrating music into the visuals I would really try to talk these people out of background music. It's really annoying and screams "I can use FrontPage so I'm a web designer" amateurism.
You always manage to say what we're thinking without upsetting anyone... ;) Matt. -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodies?" ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
