A little bit of music at Ford Project Site

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Good People,

Some will love the tweaking we have done over at the Ford Tri-Motor Project Site and some will hate it - but Ed and I thought - what the heck - lets add a bit more entertainment to the site.

We have added some streamed music to various pages on the site - most of it era correct and a couple of tunes that are popular and enjoyable.

The streaming does not appear to hinder the overall performance of the site or pages visited - those pages that have music imbedded will have the music start 10 to 15 seconds after the page loads the first time after that it is instant for each page re-visit.

NOTE: Works in IE - not in Safari - don't know about other browsers.

The pages affected are:

Home/Index Page
http://www.ford-tri-motor.net
Music=Mack the Knife - instrumental
Scenery Page
http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/scenery.htm
Music=What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

Extra Ford Tails Page
http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/tails.htm
Music=Berlin-T - instrumental
This one below I find it a bit hard to choose a Jigsaw Puzzle to play as I bop along with the tune

Jigsaw Puzzle Page - some great fun and music on this page.

Music=Mood - Glen Miller Band - instrumental

Music=Popcorn by Hot Butter - instrumental

Music=Sentimental Journey-Glen Miller-Doris Day

Doesn't seem to work in Chrome either. I'll have to take a stroll on the other path for a bit to listen to the tunes, thanks

The MP3's work fine with IE9. This is something we used to do over at Transload all the time. Dan and I would take turns swapping out music files.

Lots of fun! Works great. More reason to spend rime at the site. Thanks Ed and Garry.

Years ago, Canelo Kid would add music to some areas here.

Best regards,

Thanks for the feedback - seems that the Music Feature is an IE exclusive - sorry that the other browsers can't handle the streaming from within FrontPage. But not to worry - many will still enjoy it.

Still end up bopping up and down on the Puzzle Page - very catchy music that one.....

Good to hear from you Tom, brings back fond memories of the Transload days - my regards to Dan as well.

Anyway time for bed down here is Australia - happy simming to all.
