I am using FrontPage and I have added background music to a webpage via .wav format, but it's a 90 second clip so it doesn't start playing immediately (because it basically has to download obviously). My question is, is there a way to make it load faster or even immediately???
Thanks much!

No, I dont think there is, the best way to make a long piece of music on a website is to loop a short .wav, this cuts down loading times.
Personally I think music is a bad idea on websites as some people who browse will be doing it a night. Going onto a website and having music blast out of there speakers will only annoy them and obveously not everyone has the same taste in music.
only my opinion though! lol
Take it easy

You might want to go into the general business folder and take a poll to see
how most people feel when they go to a website that has music that starts
automatically on a website.
When I get to a website that has music, I close it immediately!
Good luck with your new website,

if you do use music, which i don't recommend, the best way is to stream it inside a flash movie.
that way you can add user control to let people turn it on/off, control volume. and flash movies are streaming, so your music would start as soon as the page loads, and continue playing while the rest of the music file is still downloading.

I don't like background music AT ALL on a website, but that's what the client insisted upon. He's selling his own CDs, so I guess I understand. In any event, thank you all for your support and your suggestions! I knew I could count on you all!
