[IxDA Discuss] Where has the music gone?

[Ben Hopkins]

I think the main practical obstacle to successfully adding music to a site
is lack of support for it in HTML, necessitating embedded controls that
don't usually have anything to do with the actual content of the site.  Also
audio files will reload and start over when you navigate to a different page
unless you're stuck in a frameset or some other content-irrelevant hack.
This is one thing that Flash seems to do pretty well, particularly in terms
of seamlessly syncing sound clips with actions/events.
