Two things that I care about in backround music

1) You can turn it off and on
2) Have a fast connection

The music better be good also LoL. I mean if your like on dial-up it will lagg like crap so you gotta have like DSL to hear it. Plus who wants to listen to country music if you like rap, rock, etc.
LoL

I vote no

The key to music is to do this:

Have it play automatically, but have the player OBVIOUS...(make your own flash player...like this one: http://www.floggingmolly.com/ it's a good band, and they have a perfect example.)

However, I think that it is reasonable on a band's web site. What kind of site are you using it on? A band site? Is it your band? Do you have permission to play the music?

God, I hate background music.

I generally I open all new links in tabs, so I can finish whatever I'm doing on the page.

So when, music suddenly starts blaring at me from apparently no where it shocks an pisses me off. I have to stop whatever I'm doing and find the source.

It's very annoying and inconvenient; I normally just leave the site.

So if your intention is to drive people away...

I like bgsound but in sites like flash sites, not on a boring HTML site...

But on a PC like mine... I prefer to turn the sound off... too slow for me... thanx-...

But I still say: Yes.... Bgsound helps a lot on a good site, makes you feel like in the movies Razz

I usually don't like, but sometimes when the song is really good I don't leave the website. But it should be very hard for a webmaster to select the song that will be good for everyone...

It can be very annoying when you have background music on a site, especially when there is no option to turn it off. But sometimes it is ok if the music is decent and there is a option to turn it off.

If Its Playing In Media Player, It Sometimes Works If You Press Esc, PS. I Have Bg Music On My Site, You Have TO Scroll Down To My Affiliate Box To Click Stop, But Its Only A 30K Midi, The Final Countdown, If They Dont Like It, Press Esc Or Click My Stop Button

Background music is generally annoying. They should not autostart, have a stop/play option and preferably offer more than one song for you to choose.

Depends on the mood really. Maybe one day I like it one day I won't. I think you should give a few different options of music if your going to give any at all. Like set it up as links as the name of the songss, and you click to play/stop.

99% of time, background music is a bad idea. Thankfully, I use Firefox so most of it doesn't play.
