When you guys did see my site with the music in the background on the slideshow did you appreciate the music? Do you browse with your own music playing or with the sound down maybe. I`m currently planning out a new jawdropping SX site at same address and i would like feedback as to whether you give a crap whether there`s music or not. Of course modern uptodate music as background on an SX slideshow enhances it masively but thats irrelevant if no bugger can be bothered letting it fully load!   It`s just music enhances the visuals so much but adds a lot of loading time i dont know what to do so the best people to ask are the browsers. Over to you.....

I always have my own music paying, so I would vote for no music on the site.  Not haveing music makes the site faster the the dialup people too.  BTW, it's probably just my computer, but your slid show thing always crashes after about 7 pictures.  I had to click the puzzle thing and just keep changeing the puzzle to see all your pics <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Thanks m8 i didnt know that. It started crashing my browser recently too when the shortish cut mp3 should loop back to the beginning. I`ve had to take it down. I`ve asked Shockwave for support but got none!!!
So i`m going to build something cool with flash5 and some nifty Java applets. Just dont know whether its worth putting music up this time. Cheers  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Get rid off the music. I listen to music or watch TV when i'm on the web, not to mention my 56k connection, so count my vote as getting rid of it.

I'm not a big fan of sites with music either. It takes longer to load, it also may not be something EVERYBODY likes, so you may get less traffic, yadda yadda...

NO to music! :biggrin:
