Let your Joomla site be heard! This is a simple way to add background music to your Joomla site. To install module, just download, setup your audio files, setup the module, publish and voila! you have sound.
To add to content use the plugin version or install both, combine and enjoy!
Module Feature list.
* New version uses HTML5/CSS3 Audio tag
* Fallback to flash player on older browsers
* Modify button look with CSS
* Allows you to loop background music/sound
* Put a list of audio files the module can choose from, so have different music everytime!
* Random Play or create a playlist
* Shuffle Play
* Very unobtrusive, you wouldn't even know it's there.
* For more control, you can publish the media controls
* Make copies (see faq) to have different audio lists for different pages.
* Audio/Music will continue on page changes. (Non-frame solution)
* does not require any modification of core module or any modules.
Known Issues: Audio resume is simulated only therefore pauses or skipping may occur between pages.
Plugin Feature list
* Ability to embed music in your content.
* Add the controllers, to have an alternative to reading, now your site is sight-challenged ready.
* Ability to autostart audio or give the controls to user.
* Have multiple copies in one document content.

Now with support for all browsers with mp3/ogg is also smarter!
I just have a problem with non-flash mode of the player, having big square buttons with rounded borders with a green joomla banner on the corner instead of the player buttons, and on mouseover they becomes a little bigger. Am i the only one with this problem?

Thank you for reviewing JBGMusic. Unfortunately, we can not test the module with all the modules/plugins/templates for Joomla.
We can try to make it work for you if we receive a support request from you.

Thank you for bringing the bug to our attention. We have fixed the bug, and hopefully it will run in your Firefox installation.
Thank you for you great work, the module working without problem.
But you shouldn't encrypte the code.
Your work is very useful, but I can't / won't use unknown codes on my sites!

Hello, thank you for evaluating our module. The code was obfuscated not to hide anything but to prevent unauthorized removal of the backlink. We guarantee that the code is clean of anything naughty.
I've tried several modules and plugins for audio playback, but this surpassed all in simplicity and effectiveness. I downloaded, installed, configured and ready: it worked immediately without problems!
Small and light. Does not eat CPU resources. The best for backgroung music. Be aware of using large and massive MP3 files - that could interrups smooth playing when changing pages. If you are looking for playlist support and operation, i'd probably recomend another product. This product is for a smooth backgroung music for an entire site.
Hi,
I have downloaded this extension and used it on a website built for one of my clients.
Installation and set up was a breeze.
Background music worked well.
HOWEVER, after completing the development I have checked the validation which came up pretty shocking - as 11 errors, all in this extension.
So had to uninstall - what a shame. If it would validate it would be 5 star product!

Hi, reviewed the code, and I have added modifications to the code so that it conforms and validates according to http://validator.w3.org/
Please see demo page.
This plugin and module are very easy to configure and use.

Hello, you may want to check out the latest version 1.5. I have changed to a flash player and audio should continue between page changes.
I really agree with analographi
Well, its a music player, that is ok! Thats what it is and doesent differenciate from many others.
I would like to have a solution for background music which does not restart every time I click on a link on my site. Is there any solution to listen to the song while browsing (and clicking sublinks) at my website?

But it's totally useless for real background music because it does restart the music everytime the user navigates somewhere else within the site.

Plus: Easy to install and excellent sound quality.
Minus: The plugin & usage instructions could stand some clarity.

It's a shame this module is hid on the last page of this category. I installed it for someone just a few days ago and it works perfectly. I could not have asked for it to be any better than it is. It installs simple and is an all around good module.
Many thanks to the developers. I installed this one as a favor. Next time, I will be donating to the "Pizza Fund".
