Hey everyone

Some of you may have seen this site before...however I'm wondering about the whole music thing...

what do you all think...should I give users the choice of what bground music they listen to or should I select one and just have an on/off option?

if you think I should pick one pick out of the 4 choices at:

choices (http://www.choice.designreel.com/)

heres the site with one sound - no choices:

Thanks

i think the best option is to not put music on the site at all.

i partially agree. if i were you, i'd not let the music auto start. also, i would make the music player more evident.. (www.blackpulp.com or www.inhabitedtheband.com/v2/html)

not a bad start, man

thanks guys

hmmmm the thing is I personally think that the music on the site helps the whole site flow - I think it'll keep the users interest for longer

Ok here's what I'm going to do...I'll keep the music on the site but like Zach-E2 said I won't make it auto start - right so now out of the 4 tracks which one's should I keep and which ones should I scrap if any?

as its not music as such more ambient background sound

i like it.. keep the ambient sound on your site(2nd link). I dont mind music on websites as long as it doesnt blow up my speakers overtop of my music.. and if it doesnt have vocals,with the exception of band websites. So yea it looks good.

cheers

damn I really liked some of the music on the 1st link - none of the music featured has vocals and none of it will blow your speakers away just so the main focus is still on the site - how about everyone else?

tracks to pick from are on the 1st site numbers 1-4...pick one or more if you like
