    Default Background Music on Website

    Hello,

    I want to add background music to my site and I need some help on trying to figure out how to do this.

    I have the Flash Music Player on my site, but I don't know how to get the music to play?

    I'm trying to follow the instructions below from premiumbeat.com:

    http://www.premiumbeat.com/flash_res...mp3_player.php

    I'm not sure about Step 3

    Change the value in red to suit your needs.
    so.addVariable("soundPath", "song.mp3");

    Where it says song.mp3 is that where I put the name of my song?

    And I'm not sure what they are talking about below:

    This path can be relative or absolute.

    Sample ablolute path:
    so.addVariable("soundPath", "/files/song.mp3");
    In this case the mp3 file would be located at www.site.com/files/song.mp3

    Sample relative path:
    so.addVariable("soundPath", "song.mp3");
    In this case the mp3 file would be located at www.site.com/song.mp3

    Which do I use "Ablolute" or "Relative" and where do I put them?

    I'm kind of a newbie and step-by-step instructions would really be helpful. I need to know what files I need to go into to make this player work.

    Thanks!

    just my 2cents. i don't know why would you want to have background music on shopping site . i don't think anyone like to listen to music while browsing , specially if music keeps repeating as you refresh page or move from one page to another and player needs to reload and replay from beginning ..

    DITTO!!!! That is one of the MOST ANNOYING things that anyone can do to their site. If you was the ONLY place to get what I was looking for................I'd do without!
    But, that just MY 2 cents worth.

    Yes, and I've never received an answer that's why I posted it again and see now I have received 2 fast replies, but no reply on April 30th.

    Like you said it's a shopping site not a disco party.
