Please! I BEG YOU! Websites with sound are the kind of websites I never visit again. I think that I speak for many of us, when I say that I dont WANT to hear your mp3 file when I visit your website. I am already listening to the music I love wholeheartedly, and I dont want your website to ruin the greatest guitar solo in the world. Why do you ruin my guitar solo? Why!? Suggestion: If you are going to add the sound file despite my plea, I recommend you that you create a warning page first (Like porn sites have) which says "WARNING: ANNOYING EMBEDDED AUDIO INSIDE", just so I am warned.
