Hello all,

I'd like to know how do you add background music to a website using
dreamweaver CS3?
I'm using dreamweaver CS3 to create a website for my church (they already have
a domain) and I'm trying to figure out how to add background music.

Also, is there a way for me to add a music player or something to the page
that starts playing when they enter the site and let's you pick different songs
from it?

And lastly, if I just embed a song or whatever it is as the background music,
can I make it loop or play a different song afterwards?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

As most anyone else will say, so I will say; *please don't start it
automatically!*

Playing music on a site is fine, but making it play automatically when you
go to the site will alienate lots of people; especially those having a quick
web surf at work or who have other music on whilst they're working.

But back to your question; have a look at the XSPF music player
(http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/). It comes in different visual versions
(can modify it with a bit of Flash knowledge), allows you to select
different songs or just leave it looping, or you can just loop one song. And
yes, you can make it start automatically.

See http://www.blastoffmusic.org for an example of a christian site where it
is used (on the inside pages)

HTH,

Pete.
