Music and The Design


Seeing as this is a band website, and many popular bands have their songs playing on their website, for example, 







For the front page I want a song playing automatically. I unfortunately don't have Midnight Highs CDs or MP3s at my disposal at the minute, so I have to make do with their tracks already on-line. They have uploaded their songs via Sound Cloud, which has an embedding feature, which allows its users to copy the songs and embed them on what ever website they like to share. 

To add one of their songs to my front page, I have gone on to their Facebook



Clicked on a song which is directed to the left hand side of their Facebook profile.



I then clicked on "Share", which is directly above the play button.


Then that brings this little box up which allows the user to change the colour of the playing box. I think copied the link, and added it to the Footer of my website. I thought it would be better there as it is sort of out the way, so it wont distract the user from looking at the main features of the website. 






Afterwards it looked like this  :)
