Hi.
Want to make a jukebox on my site allowing users to choose from different MP3
songs to play while visiting my site.
Is this possible? Any tips of a "ready to go" script, using
ASP/Vbscript/Acsess.

Thanx!

Having background music is one of the worst possible things a webdesigner can
do... usability wise, but if you're willing to eschew respect from code purists
like myself, you have several options:

a) Using the <embed> tag in a frame with the background sound with links using
a simple ASP script to regenerate the tag with different values for the href
attribute according to which song was selected

b) Using a flash movie to dynamically load MP3s and play them

But still, the thought of having music playing in the background whilst
visiting a site is harrowing at best, reminding me of those "fun web products"
pages, I don't recommend it

This one uses Flash and MXL, and it is one awesome little component!
