About Music & Sound

Music

If you have Plug-ins for playback of music installed in your browser, you should see a console for control of the playback at the left side of the Music / Sound Panel when you select a music title from the Drop-down list.

The appearance of the console depends on your Plug-in.

The music console is designed to use the following plug-ins:

• Microsoft Windows Media Player
• Apple QuickTime
• RealNetworks RealPlayer
• LiveUpdate Crescendo
• Beatnik Player
• Netscape LiveAudio

On the page Select Music Player you can choose which of your Plug-ins you want to use.

There should be no problems using the Music Panel with other Plug-ins than these, but the appearance will of course not be as intended.

If you browser doesn't support Plug-ins, but supports playback of background music in the selected format, then you should still be able to hear the music, but you can not stop the music and / or adjust the volume from the Music / Sound Panel  (you can stop the music by selecting the option:  [Music Off]  or by pressing the Escape key).

You can also play the music from the Music Index, where you in addition to the music also can see further information about most of the tunes.

Sound

On most of the pages at this site there is a sound clip.  In Netscape Navigator the sound clips will be played by your Plug-in for WAVE-sound  (if installed).  In all other Browsers the sound will be played as background sound  (if supported).

You have to check the box labeled  "Sound"  in the Music / Sound Panel to be able to hear the sound clips.

If you view the pages with the top- and bottom panels turned off, then the sound clips will not be played.
