How can I play back-ground music on my site?
Is it an MP3 that pays once, or loops?
Thanks for helping me

Hello Erik,
When you edit your page you could insert a "Video & Audio" widget inside the page. It is located in the right of your window.
If you don't want to use Flash (for mobiles for example), you could insert a HTML block with this HTML5 code inside:
<audio>
<source src="http://www.mysite.com/my_audio.mp3"type='audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"'>
</audio>
Options are in the <audio> tag:
- controls: to show the controls (play, stop, volume)
- autoplay: to start playing when the page is loaded
- loop: to ... loop
@ samuel ...if you already have something like that then write correctly. The mp3 alone can not be played in all browsers.

Thanks !
I used the widget.
If I would use the second option, where would I put the HTML code (sorry but I'm not a trained IT person)
and Flash won't too
Inside a HTML block. You can find this block in the right of the window when editing your page. This is a large square area where you can put your HTML code into.
Hi therel, Is it possible to play the music in all the pages of a domain? (Homepage, page1, page2, pop-ups, ect.)
Thanks for your help,
Hello Maohai,
You can add the code in every page but then when you change page it will start from begin. If you want to have it that is not stopped it has to be opened in a new window.
Many thanks!
how to add in new windows, so the music is played all over the site with the option of turning the sound off?
Hello Ahmed,
You can use the popup function where you add a page where you added the music player so the player controller are visible to turn it on and off and it will play also if you change page.
Please feel free to write back if you need more information.
what about sites that starts with music once you enter them and the music last as long as visitor browse the website, meanwhile visitor may find an icon to stop the music? I need to add a special touch and feeling to the website.
thank you very much
Hello Ahmed,
It depends on how the website is made, because if all the content is on the same page then it will not stop. If the browser loads a new page then the player starts from begin, and it's why most websites loads an popup window. If the website is completely made in Falsh then all the content is on the same page and there's no new page loaded and so it will be possible to have the music playing without stops but these websites will not work on mobile devices and are heavier to load.
Many thanks!
