I can't offer help, only a statement: You add music to a webpage, and I will kill you and take your eyes as souveniers.

Embedded music in webpages is, by far, one of the most annoying things out there, closely followed by swirling images that hover around your cursor. Music takes a while to load, is often unexpected, which is bad if you're browsing at 2 AM and suddenly loud music starts playing, and, some of us, like myself, listen to music while browsing the internet, and I, for one, find it very annoying when a passionate song is interrupted by what some yahoo thought would be neat to have on a webpage.

Flash.....

I implement a basic jukebox on my site <a href='http://www.0x01a4.com' target='_blank'>http://www.0x01a4.com</a>

starts paused by default, streams the music in a compressed format so it loads fast.

Life is good.

On a windows system, type "format c:\" and hit yes to any warnings. On a *nix system, type "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hda" (or of course /dev/sda if you have a SCSI drive). This should solve your desire to include music on webpages. As Mantrid said, there's not much thats more annoying. That, and poor sods who still use such a crappy browser as IE can't turn it off most of the time. If you want nobody to ever visit your website, ever, or want to get a job inventing torture devices for third world countries, I suggest you google "stupid background music html". You'll probably get results.

Edit: seeing Them's post, a jukebox is one thing, but the usual "{insert video game name here}theme.mid" is crap.

While a help subject is open, does anybody know if i can use .htaccess or something to have different 404 errors for different subdomains of a site?

i.e

<a href='http://domain.com/' target='_blank'>http://domain.com/</a> would have "Error: 404, go back to domain.com"

while

<a href='http://othersite.domain.com/' target='_blank'>http://othersite.domain.com/</a> would have "Error:404 go back to otherside.domain.com"

Exactly what I was thinking. Except I always turn the music off when I go there.

Yes, I make sure to avoid the main page as much as I can and find the background "music" extremely irritating. Thank god they're making a new one.

Oh wait... you were trying to prove a point for the -other- side...

Guessing that if you're using .htaccess files you're talking about Apache?

Goto <a href='http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html' target='_blank'>http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html</a> and look at the ErrorDocument statement - can either be used in a .htaccess file, or within the main httpd.conf file.
