Is this a violation, or is there a way?

Is there any way to have music on my cache page? I'm hosting a Easter Event and I would love to have "peter cottantail" playing on the cache page. I have no idea if there is even a way to do this? And if so, is it in violation? HELP

NOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Every time this is asked, you'll typically get a half dozen replies from people who strongly believe that putting music on a webpage is one of the most annoying things you can do on the web. A word of warning: I'm one of those people.

 

Sorry, but the HTMLtidy software that the geocaching.com website uses doesn't allow you to embed music on a cache page. If you try to, it will just strip it out. You can post a link to an offsite music file, though, and allow people to click it to play on a separate page.

And THANK GOD for that!

 

Automatic music on cache pages: [click back button]

I agree with the others, I'm dead against music on a web page, I can't shut off, and I BACK out of it, no matter what the site.

I do not like music on cache pages and I do not like it web pages. If want to hear music I will dediced when I will hear it.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

 

That was exactly my reaction. However cute and/or appropriate you think the music is, chances are that most of your visitors will think it is proportionally hideous and unnecessary.

Please, please, please don't do this.

If you must have music - make it a link that visitors can choose to click on. Autoplay music on web pages is awful!!
