Many people set up websites that are very impressive but they want to add music. How do I put music on my website? A common question with an easy answer. Music files are embedded into a website using html code. This code is available free on the internet. A person with a music file can type in code that will play music in the background, show the player, not show the player, etc. HTML code can also be used to allow the visitor to listen to the music if they want by clicking a box and do many other things.

There are also internet businesses that, for a fee, will provide a person with the html code to copy and paste onto their website if they don’t want to do it themselves. Some of these businesses will send updates of code to change music on a regular basis. Which can also be done for free by typing in the correct html code.

But, there are a few things that need to be thought through before one decides to put music on their website that can impact how well a business does. First, copyright laws apply to everyone. A person needs to check and make sure that the music they play on their website is not breaking any copyright regulations when it is played. Most music is copyrighted and a person is not allowed to play it on their website without purchasing a license.

Another consideration is that if the music file is over 45KB most people will not wait for the music to load. Not everyone has a fast system, these people are also customers. They will exit the website before the music has finished downloading and a potential customer is lost.

The next consideration is that not everyone likes the same music that the owner of the website likes. Unless the website is in a niche market where everyone is listening to the same group, sing the same song, there are going to be customers who leave the site without browsing or buying because they hate the music.

Lastly, is that when a website is interesting, word often gets around. Many people who surf the net at work, do so during their breaks and lunch. This is against the rules, but they do it anyway because no one will know. That is, until they get to the website they’ve been hearing about and music starts coming out of the speaker. Besides being embarrassing and really bad for the employee, the website has lost a customer.
