I don't want music on my homepage, BUT...
For clients, it would be nice to have it on a particular gallery set to a slideshow of their pictures...
Is this possible??
Thanks in advance!
Sure. Follow the instructions to put Sonific music in the gallery description, it's rather easy
Would a smugmug gallery count as commercial use? Because I'm not "officially" in business but people are paying me to cover my costs and time...
?
I only ask because I don't want to get in trouble...
Message from Sonific CEO re Music on SmugMug
Hi everyone, good to hear you are discussing Sonific. Just wanted to add 2 things: we have just now added 125.000 tracks on Sonific, LOTS of great new tracks, from Sinatra to Muddy Waters to Ninja Tune stuff - see our news release here.
We also have a new songspotting blog here, and my own Sonific Music blog here.
So - a lot more choice now. and playlists are coming soon, too.
2nd -- if you use the songspot widget code it would be nice if you did NOT hide the player - after all, that is why our labels and artists are providing the music for free
Thanks, and cheers Gerd Leonhard, CEO www.sonific.com
music on sites
well, some like it, some hate it -it all depends on who comes to your site. Everyone expects music to play at myspace but no-one would appreciate it on linkedin.com Right? Check out Sonific's example page for some very cool, and very weird sites

So, you can of course hide it, if you give it a DIV, say, <div id="mysongspot">insertthecodeshere</div> and then in CSS you can do #mysongspot {visibility: hidden;}
I've just gotten the hang of adding Quicktime movies to my galleries. I've got a few photos from London which might, depending on point of view, benefit from a little music.
Can you only add a single music clip to a single gallery? Or can you add a clip one photo at a time (since only a couple of photos "deserve" it.).
Are there more specific CSS details posted elsewhere?
Thanks,
Zmom
PS - I thought the music was great in the demo gallery. To be used in moderation, of course!

I don't actually use it on my main site - that's just a demo gallery to show how it can be done
You can put music in the album description or in the photo caption, but not both.
Problems with music on site
I put music on my site but after following all the directions I cannot figure out how to limit it to just my homepage. Also when I open my homepage the music won't play unless I scroll down to where the songspot box is...any ideas how i can get it to play without having to scroll down to it???
Would appreciate if u could help me here.
What i did was put the songspot music codes into the footer section and changed the width and height to "0" so it hides.
Problem is right now whenever i click on any buttons on the nav bar, the music restarts. How to i get the music to play continously?

I really don't know Width and height to 0 is not the answer to hiding though.
So, you can of course hide it, if you give it a DIV, say, <div id="mysongspot">insertthecodeshere</div> and then in CSS you can do #mysongspot {visibility: hidden;}

Please be more clear, I'm not sure what you want done.
I hear music on your site.
Please fully describe what you want, so that the helpers can help, thanks
I can tell you, that having music on at the start is a huge turn off for many (me included). You might want to seriously think about how you use music.
yes, just seemed like lots of complaining about it. Hey, are you able to download other music to the sonific? I want something other than the music they offer. I haven't heard of hardly any of that stuff. Would there be a better one out there for me?

that means "I don't really know" where you can get music. I do know that you have to have such music hosted on a website - so I have mine on my .Mac web space.

I'm sorry I'm not more helpful
That's ok. I guess I just didn't understand. I will keep searching!

But many people don't want the initial "surprise" of music. If it's there, and they choose to turn it on, that's cool.
Different strokes for different folks.
