| 36622 | 2002-02-22 01:18:00 | I use windows Media player. When I send background music with e-mail it does not play because recipients do not have Media Player. There must be some way that I can switch my file so that they can play in whatever it is that comes as standard with Windows. Any ideas would be appreciated |

| 36623 | 2002-02-22 02:15:00 | You send 'background music' with emails? To people who do not have the right software to play it? How many emails from you does it take to fill someone's email storage allocation, so that they can't receive mazil from anyone? Just because something is possible does not make it necessary. Or desirable. If you want someone to listen to some music that you like, send them the URL. They will then have the choice. And they might have some space free. |

| 36624 | 2002-02-22 02:17:00 | interesting.....i personaly hate fancy graphics etc in email. however i've never had sounds in email before. how do you do it? if the background music is in mp3 then almost all players will play it. media player is stock standard in windows. the sounds might be played by their browser unless that option has been turned off. it all depends on what web browser and email cleints they are useing. |

We use a sound file in some of our auto replies when we are out of the office for several days, cannot think of the sound file, might be midi and it just loops until you close the message closes and it is still under 120kb for the whole message. We have several auto reply messages depending on who it is for and not all with background music or picture. |

| 36627 | 2002-02-22 07:37:00 | Graham, you grumpy oaf ;-) some people actually like to receive email 'Birthday Cards' with a Happy Birthday tune playing for them. I make and send them myself. Maybe that is what (bugger, I can't see his name) this chap was wishing to do. But you are right, it's a real nuisance when some people get too carried away and send *everything* with all the bells and whistles they can cram into every message. But let's identify them first before we start lecturing them :-) |

| 36628 | 2002-02-22 07:57:00 | Hi Allan I send sound with alot of my mail, you don't need anything to hear it other than the speakers turned on. You record using sound recorder, save it as a wav. In outlook express, use format, background, sound. Browse for your saved file, open it, click to play once and it automatically plays when the email is opened. It's quick, easy and works EVERY time, as it isn't an attachment. Hope you can follow my instructions. |

| 36629 | 2002-02-22 10:31:00 | I use music in my emails most of the time but only use midi files...I have downloaded a supply of various tunes into a folder and yes I click on format...sound and then browse to my midi folder.....it is no problem as midi files are quite small...Mp3's are just too big and even some wav files are too.... | Guest (0) | ||
| 36630 | 2002-02-23 01:21:00 | Without having any ill will toward the originator of this post, I have to agree with Graham on this one. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's music blaring out of the computer when I don't expect it. Web sites that do that to me don't get a second visit. Any friend who booby trapped an e-mail like that would have to be a pretty good friend to stay one (yes, even a birthday card). Grumpy II |
