background music

Is there anyway I can add background audio to my store site? How would I do that?

Re: background music

Just my 2 cents, but I find sites with background music to be annoying beyond words. I usually can't wait until to get away from it.

Re: background music

I agree completely. Also, music may cause somebody at work a real problem.

If you must use it, don't make it start at full volume, and do provide an easy-to-see on/off/volume control. With control, background music can at times be pleasant.

My boss was very smart. Our latest batch of computers have no speakers. It's inconvenient sometimes, but since we work in pretty close quarters, it could be distracting and annoying. At least no one can tell when I'm surfing or hanging out at the ZC forum. :D

I agree that a little optional background music can enhance the experience.
