Add music to your site

Music can be added to your site to play as the customer browses your store. There are a few things to keep in mind before you decide to add this feature though.

  1. Some browsers need an additional plugin to play the sound file, requiring your customer to either download the additional plugin or they'll see a big gray box on your screen where the link to the music file is.
  2. Some people surf with the sound off and won't hear it
  3. Your taste in music could be the type your visitor likes the least
  4. The visitor might be listening to their own music while online
  5. They may need to surf quietly - kids are down for a nap, they're at work..etc - so if they arrive at your site and get welcomed with the music you've selected ( on auto play and loop ) they'll have no choice but to leave very quickly.

If you have decided to still add the music to your site you would need to first upload the music file ( mp3, mid...etc ) to your public_html directory via your cpanel's Legacy File Manager. Then place the following code into your template, just below the <body> tag.

<embed src="http://yourdomain.com/your_music_file_name.mid" hidden="false" border="0" width="310" height="45" autostart="true" autoplay="true" loop="true" volume="75%">

Remember to change yourdomain.com to your actual domain name, and also the your_music_file_name.mid to the actual music file name that you've uploaded
