Music on websites: What the consumers think!

[e.rose]

For what it's worth, I keep my computer sound off unless I'm looking for new music. Not just because of music on some websites but because of all the different noises made by computers

Computer noise doesn't bother me, unless I accidentally leave my speakers really loud and something BLASTS me.

I thought that maybe we had seen the same study..

Nah, this was a poll I started at the two forums. :sillysmi:

Very cool. They seemed to have both come up with the same conclusion. I still miss my website music though. :-(

Haha, aw... well... I'm sorry for your loss. :hug::

I'm a music on sites hater..........yes it's true.

Thanks for the poll Emily....good stuff!!

i have music on my site, and most of the feedback i've gotten from it has been positive--from clients and friends alike.

Do you mind sharing your website bounce rate? Having a flash site that plays music, I'm willing to bet it is pretty high.

Can we please not turn this into a snarky pissing contest? This was just for fun and the sake of (my) curiosity... not to start sh*t with people poking at others' webpages.

I am curious too. Music AND Flash. Two strikes!

If it were a free template site, he would have a trifecta!

One thing I hate about music on photo web sites is that most of the time the music isn't being used legally. That pisses the musician in me off the same way a band using a photographer's photos with out permission pisses the photographer in me off.

Even if people LOVED music on websites... that's the main reason I wouldn't do it, because I can't afford the licensing fees right now.

The bottom line is - you only get 1 chance to make a first impression.

Ask yourself - How many non-photographer, non-music web sites do you routinely encounter that have music playing?

Music out photography sites slow them down, this could be very irritating especially for people will a slow internet connection. I suggest that if you really want music on your site, then give an option to turn it off or an option to change the kind of music.
