    Sound on a Joomla Site?

    Posted 17 years 1 week ago
    • My client wants sound on their Joomla site. Specifically, they would like to just have a continuous sound running and give the visitor the option to turn it off. Any ideas?

      Thanks.

    • Try the streaming media extensions Tyler, you're bound to find one that you like.

      I suggest NOT having sound/ music start streaming when a user enters the site but certainly DO allow them the option to enable music.
      I hate when a site starts playing music as soon as it loads, but thats just me.

    • I agree with you. I plan on running this by the client first.

    • Tell your client that it's an annoyance that makes many people immediately leave the site. I always do when I get to a site and it's starts playing anything automatically.

      I think it's rude, obtrusive, unexpected, and just bad manners. Search around on the web and you'll see most people feel the same. Unless you're building a site for a 14 year old running a gaming clan, they might like that stuff.

      I mean a nice, slow and pleasing background sound as below can be rather nice.

    • Haha, I appreciate your guys' thoughts and I have thankfully convinced my client to stay away from the sound thing.
