So a client wants me to put auto playing music on his website

Kill him.

Hope it's a MIDI file 😀

Don't you hate those websites that auto play content? It drains resources like you wouldn't believe plus there is a scramble to mute your speakers quickly before anyone else hears.

Not to mention those tabs that start playing audio in the background. I mean which one is playing?!

Make it play Baker Street on loop.

Hell no

Just call it "user-hostile". They will either not want to appear hostile and ditch the idea or they will hate you to your core and fire you.

Just do what your customer wants you to do. They are paying you right?

@Linux Yes and no, they paying you for your expertise too.

@heyheni
Well, yes. OP should give them advise. But he cant refuse to do it.

Do one thing, tell him doing this will reduce the SEO Ranking, and he might end up being blacklisted, and paying thousands of dollars to Google to re-list the site in their Search results...

1. Climb to your terminal.
2. apt-get remove --purge client
3. apt-cache autoclean
4. apt-get autoremove

Tell them latest versions of Chrome/Firefox/etc. no longer support auto-play audio. They will be none the wiser. technical_excuses > well_formed_opinions when it comes to these kind of clients.

Haha our client wants to put music jingle and a chords.

Yes!!! MySpace will rise again!

@joetj URL? I need to set to one of my tabs that open when chrome starts

Autoplay at volume 0.

@treighton yeah sorry here you go
