I need a music loop for a website. The client wants 50's music
to play in the backgrond. Ican't believe how it hard it is to find a 50's loop
on the net. AUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If anyone can help you win many Thank you's....
Ok, as you were...
Anyone Know Where I Can Find?

In a perfect world people would pay me to design what I liked only, and if they argued with me I'd take my 17" python and dash'em across the forehead till they could see things my way.
However, as you garner more life experience you will find to earn a living, and stay out of jail that a more conservative approach is necessary.

Todays sarcasm is tomorrow's news
Suppose Ford was commissioned to build a fleet of cars with a feature that made life difficult for any driver who was sharing the road with them. Would they build it? No, they'd politely tell the customer that they were the ones who knew about car design, explain the difficulty and drop the feature.
The computer is the user's private space. No action which the user did not initiate should take control of a resource, period. When a user clicks a hyperlink, they are asking to load a page of hypertext. This shouldn't resize the window, open another window or do anything to your speakers.
I appreciate that they're not paying you to conform to basic HCI etiquette and I'm not suggesting that you refuse if it were to jeopardise the job, merely restating what should be, but sadly isn't, a common sense rule.

Wait until you hear Laz's complaints about Flash standards
The guy was merely asking for help, not a lecture.
It's as pointless as starting a rant about the illegality of bootlegging in the Weeding section...

And there's a world of difference between this and the legality of weeding. Here you can reach the same goal without compromising your original intention.

Actually your whole statement was moot.Motz wrote:Had you read the last paragraph properly you'd know full well that that question is moot.
I don't remember asking anything about that which you stepped upon your soapbox about.
It would be like you posting
Motz > Do you like my bands new web page and me jumping in with.
9w9 > Well I hope you designed your web page to be primarily functional with IE7 because as you can
see here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp browser statistics blah blah.
And if you think your using a better browser well, the majority have spoken. I don't seem to see Mozaic
on the list blah blah.

You asked for help in locating a resource which would be obnoxiously abused contrary to basic HCI principles.
Yours is a perfectly valid point to make. Except that IE7 is beta software and as such, any incompatibility is their fault, not mine.
That and the statistics on w3schools are biased towards a different demographic, I doubt many people will be using lynx to find tips on webdesign
