Setting the background music

You can set the mood of your memorial by using background music. Background music is played from a music file.

Tip: Not all visitors to your memorial will be able to hear your background music. This is because not all web browsers and operating systems can play music.

The third yellow box at the top of the page allows you to set the background music.

Clicking on the 'browse' button will cause a file browser window to appear. You use the file browser to locate the music on your personal computer. The music must be one of the following:

MIDI file, with the extension '.mid' or '.midi'
WAV file, with the extension '.wav'
MP3 file, with the extension '.mp3'

After selecting the music, click on the 'change background music' button to set the background music. This may take several minutes depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

The following example shows the Background Music Change Box with background music in use, with the title of the music file displayed in bold text.
