You will probably need a music editor program.
I use one that I found locally at Office Depot.
I will import the song into the program, edit it down,
save it, then export it to a file as an mp3.
The nice thing about an editor is you have fader controls
so you can fade in or out so you have a smoother sound.

Hope that helps.

Re: need help with music

thank you brad - that is just what i need - the page doesn't need the whole song - just the flavor of it

Re: need help with music

I see the player on your map, but I could not get it
to play anything. Is it linked to a mp3, wav or other?

Does the link have complete url with file extention?

Brad - the player on the map plays Al Hirt's Gotta Travel On - it usually comes on soon after the page loads - the player is to turn it off -what browser are you using that it doesnt come on? ann

I couldn't resist 'borrowing' one of the pics off your Moving on site and modifying it a bit.
Hope you dont mind.
