Music in new design

In the legacy smugmug, adding this simple HTML5 code :
<html><audio src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/167021112/Acoustic Alchemy - Jamaica Heartbeat.mp3&quot; autoplay controls loop></audio></html>
in a gallery description works perfectly as you can see/hear here : http://smu.gs/1a6o6Qx

Now, after adding an "html block" in a gallery created in the new design and including the html code above, not only it does not work but the code and the html-block are removed by the system... why please ???

By the way, having not migrated my site, my tests use the "preview mode", so, could somebody test the code above in the "true" new design environment please ?
Thanks in advance,
Serge

    I too used music in one of my galleries in my legacy website but was told by SmugMug that it isn't yet possible with the New SmugMug. This is disappointing because my one gallery is for a small company I do work for. ..and yes the music could be turned off if wanted and I had the copyright permission.

    Thanks Billspics for sharing your view.
    Searching in dgrin shows that a lot of people are disappointed to not see music available in the new design.
    The bad news, as for the homepage fullscreen slideshow, javascript, statcounter, music, deep customization... SM downgraded its product.
    The good news, SM competitors as zenfolio, squarespace, photoshelter... offer music possibiities and upgrade regularly their products. (zenfolio pre-announcing new stuffs coming next weeks, announcing also today the possibility to create and sell photo-books for their customers)
    So it's up to us...
    Thanks again.

    Wow. How disappointing. While I don't use music for my entire site (I personally find it annoying), I did have it on a certain page of my site (my portfolio review). In my market ALL of the wedding photographers in my area have music as a feature on their site. Sort of "sets" the brides in a mood to view their portfolios, I guess. This definitely puts me at a disadvantage when put head to head with many of their "emotionally" capturing wedding sites. Sigh. And I just renewed my copyrights to my songs for another year. What a bummer and waste of money now.

    Are you still on the old Smug? I only ask because I notice you have music on your site's opening page.

    yes Nora, still in old smugmug unfortunatly, and currently removing music everywhere in order to migrate.
    I regret to not get answer from SM about systematicaly removing a very simple audio html5 code (not javascript) in their html blocks... like here : [URL=]http://smu.gs/17I1Pnp][/URL] (*)
    if you can ask from your side too, thanks in advance.
    Serge.

    (*) here is the html5 code used, very simple isn't it ? :
    <audio src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/167021112/Acoustic Alchemy - Jamaica Heartbeat.mp3&quot; autoplay controls loop>
    </audio>

    Will it ever change to enable audio code once again?
