Least diruptive/resource-intensive way to add a short music into a Wordpress/HTML page
I just decided to start a personal blog on a particular topic and I would like to add a song as a background music if possible, however I know Javascript or Quicktime is a resource hog and everyone hates it, I am just wondering if there is a less disruptive way to add the music, thanks! I can either add as a mp3/wav file directly or add a youtube video.

A JWPlayer embed could work fine. You could also throw it into OGG/AAC with HTML5 <audio>.
O no no
that is baddddd. Background music is never a good idea.
Indeed , after a while it will start irritating repeat visitors / regular readers
DO NOT USE JWPLAYER
Use something sane like http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/
Never heard of this, thanks for sharing. I might use this in my future projects, appreciate it.
Neat. Duly noted for future use.
It is more for my personal readings
Just got this installed, thanks a lot!
Bad, bad, evil.
You're probably thinking of Java, not Javascript. They're not the same thing, not even close.
Don't. Unnecessary resource usage.
Bad. Use something like SoundManager instead, as suggested.
Sorry if music comes on a website, I instantly click the X.
If you want to force music on me, open up a traditional brick and mortar store.
Go to the website visitor's house, knock down his door, place some giant 10.2 2Xfully surround bass in their house and then blast the music until you see blood exploding out of their ears.
No man, background music is shit and annoying.
Besides the verbosity, there aren't many reasons to hate Java.
Still the easiest way to hack a Windows desktop?
(thanks)
That I dislike running anything written in Java on my own machine because of the associated system load is definitely a red flag. That I have to think twice before running anything Java on a VPS because it may very well bring it down entirely, is another.
Am I missing a meme reference here?
(Ninja edit: I think I get it. You're referring to the recently disclosed Java vulnerabilities)
Memory-wise Java isn't the best, but its definitely not terrible.
Python vs Java, for example
As long as you accept the certificate anybody can eggdrop a huge-ass trojan in your temp folder...
That will never be fixed as sometime that's necessary, that's why you should just never click "Run" for unknown Java applets....
Maybe not if you have hardware that can run basically anything. Most people don't.
Benchmarks are great and all, but as long as Python-based applications are zippier and less resource-intensive in practice than their Java counterparts, I'm going to call bullshit. Something about the difference between benchmarks and real-world usage...

Upload it to youtube, and embedded it as 0px for width and length, put it on autoplay, and boom, it's good.
