I've embedded a midi file as background sound in my "index.html " which links
to other pages on the site and I want the the same background sound to play
on all pages "without interruption (and restarting)" when going to the other
pages.
Can anyone give me some insight as to how this can be done?
Appreciate any help offered.

Hmmm...do you really have to?
Why not give users the option of whether or not they want to listen?
see http://aitech.ac.jp/~ckelly/midi/loops/ http://phoenix.liunet.edu/~jmeschi/audweb/3.htm
If you are dead set on the idea then I guess you could probably have the
midi file playing in one window - and spawn another window which leads to
the main site..
OR - much as I would strongly advise against it - you *could* in theory have
a frames based website - put the MIDI in one of the framed pages.. people
should be able to navigate the site while the MIDI plays in the background -
not tried it but should work.
Id keep it simple - give them the choice ;-)

Keith, 8-9-3 & Stan,
Sincere thanks for the advice and info about using frames (Darren). The
site is a private one (a memorial to someone) and will not have heavy
traffic. I don't think anyone will object to the sound - in fact, I think it
will set a nice tone.
I'll experiment with the "choice" and "frames" tips and see which one feels
best...
Thanks again to all,
Peter

Sigh.
You asked for advice on how to do something, three out of three
responses told you why it's a bad idea, and you just brush it aside.
So you are utterly convinced that no one visiting your site will
already be playing their own music, will be at work, will be in an
area where they should be quiet, or will just not like your choice
of music? Then I guess there's nothing more to say.

Stan,
Nothing was "brushed aside". If you'll re-read my response, I did say that
I'd experiment with frames and having the visitor make the "choice" as to
whether they wanted to listen to background music.
Thanks again for your comments/valued advice.

I'm trying to write a page that allows me to change the background
midi that's playing.
I've been going crazy consulting Google Groups, and coming up with
ingenious solutions, some of which kind of work in some situations.
I'm quite prepared to implement a number of solutions simultaneously
and browser-distinguish to select the right one, but it's hard even to
find the criteria that decide what works in which browser.
I'd be grateful...

Per the client request, I have a background sound that plays on:
http://www.christies-catering.com
She wants the sound to play continuously as the user goes from page to page,
as it does now. Plus the ability to turn the sound off, like now.
But it uses frames, which I would prefer not to use. Any other ideas?

I have just tried to attach a background sound with on/off button to my movie clip at frame 1 of the main Timeline.
Flash Movie: the movie will keep on replaying until a viewer clicks a button.
(frame 1 to 7)
Problem: the background sound plays again on top of the ancient one. And as the movie starts again, one more piece will be played, and so on.
I've tried to use different approach with action script but no luck, Please help.

Using XP and VB 2005, it seemed like a good idea to
save audio in the clipboard and then play it with backgroundworker.
Cannot find a good Clipboard audio example anywhere - just SetAudio
and GetAudio. And an example seems to do a SwapAudio which makes no
sense.
Basically I want to spool or simulate spooling of audio.
So is this reasonable for asynchronous audio clip play? or alternate?
Any thoughts or pointers to other sources? Thanks.

I want to have a background music to my simple app and a buton which plays another sound, but when I press the button the sound from it interrupts the background sound. I tried with SoundPlayer and the native PlaySound function but the results were the same. Any ideas how to have a background music and a button sound without using DirectSound? Can you provide me some snippets?
