Using MP3 as background music

I was told that it was possible to stream an mp3 and then use it as background music on a webpage.

Is this possible? If so, how would a person accomplish this? What software would be needed? Would this be too difficult for the average newbie etc?

might help :)

Keep the loading times in mind. Not all of your users have broadband. :thumbsup:

Another thing to remember is that people may not want to listen to music, so you should provide them a way to turn it off :)

And that a lot of people will be angry at you for including it, even if there is an option to turn it off.

If I were you, I wouldn't do it.
