Background music scripts

[Romekk]

I need some help from someone with my website:

http://users.pandora.be/guerilla_tactics/

1. the loop is not running smooth (the file is perfectly a loop when played in cool edit)

2. I want to let the visitor choose which background music plays

I was given this website:

http://simplythebest.net/scripts/javascript_125.html

... but it doesn't work:

anyone?

This line:

midiList = new Array("","mijn%20documenten/Romek%20Website/Passions.mp3","mijn%20documenten/Romek%20Website/Creative%20resources.mp3","mijn%20documenten/Romek%20Website/Zero%20point%20energy");

Seems to be pointing to your local directory. It should be something like:

midiList = new Array("","http://users.pandora.be/guerilla_tactics/Passions.mp3","http://users.pandora.be/guerilla_tactics/Creative resources.mp3","http://users.pandora.be/guerilla_tactics/Zero point energy");

They have to point to your files, and all %20s are actually URL-encoded spaces.

Yoh Jona:

I tried what you said but still no sound.

Maybe the script only applies for midi format?

So I tried with those three files in midi format ...

The first one works! Problem is ... it plays a totally different song? The song it must play can be heard on my homepage ... now let the other one play (Passions it's called) on the testpage --> wtf is that about???
I just export the song in Reason (the music program) as a midi file instead of a wave file

And the other two give no sound at all ... I'm loosing hope :(

SOrry, I said something wrong:

The first one doesn't play at all on the web. It only does when I choose Preview in Frontpage ..

[Jona]

Okay, I'll work on it, but I suggest you take out the spaces and rename the files. Instead of spaces, use underscores (the _ things).

[Romekk]

Jona, it works now

You were on the right track, but the whole link was needless,

so just: Passions.mp3, etc. was enough

Just one problem remains: The loops don't play smoothly! (even though they play smooth in cool edit pro when you loop them)
How come?

[Jona]

That error occurs only when your loop isn't completely "looped." That's all I can say. Try shortening the end of it or something. There is no "flaw" in the Web page's music speed.

You are right, I have found the problem;

when you convert the perfect looped wave file to an mp3 format, a small piece is added at the end

so I tried instead of converting it with a normal program, to save the wave file as mp3 in Soundforge ... but the same thing happens! that little piece is always added

[Romekk]

I mean it is added in the beginning

[Jona]

Sorry, I know a lot about Web development, and a lot about music programs and stuff, but that looks like a problem out of my range. Sorry...

[Romekk]

thanks anyways!
