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 https://www.site.com/files/song.mp3

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

Re: Background Music on Website

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 .. :unsure::shocking::no:

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.

You've already asked this question here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=877253#post877253

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.
