RE: Adding background music to a web page...

Yeah, I think the world's in harmony on this one.

Triton:  We know you have to eat, but part of a pro's job is to educate and
steer clients.  And I'm afraid that your client's an idiot.

Once you let them know that people's reaction to a page that starts playing
music is generally to hit the Back button or close their browser window,
they'll probably understand that driving away their audience is not what
they want.

Also, note that many potential customers will already be listening to their
own music as they browse, and the resulting mix will be a disaster.  Plus,
people in public places (libraries, coffee shops) or at work in their
cubicle farm are going to annoy everyone around them with your client's
site, too.

Finally, if you use music that you don't have the rights to, they can expect
to hear from a lawyer someday.

So, in summary:  Background music on a web page makes baby Jesus cry.

Good luck,

-- Charles
