playing a sound sample - not as background music

Playing an MP3 on demand

[plopsybunny]

Hi there,

I have a request from a client, a DJ, to provide the ability to play sevral different samples of their work on various pages throughout the website. However this shouldn't be as background music if at all possible.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how I do this?

thanks :)

It seems that you could accomplish this pretty "straightforwardly" (is that a word? :) )...

Couldn't you simply use some type of menu located on the page (click here for this sample...etc)

Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like you need to present the items just like a navigation menu...

however, you'd need to explain what the user is about to hear (what type of music, etc) next to the selections...

you can get all fancy if you need to, some type of art with clickable hotspots, etc...it's up to you..

hope that helps!

Playing music files through out the site is a nice concept though not new. What I don't like is if I refresh a page or if I browse to another page, the music starts playing from the very beginning and its pretty understandable. Do we have any solution for this?
