Subject: Problems hearing sounds when pages open?
Posted: Dec/11/2011 at 1:43pm

Can't hear sounds on pages that automatically play sounds when they open? Electricka received an email about this problem that you may want to know about.
 
Here's what a visitor had to say about this problem and how The Muse Of Music answered:
 
Visitor:
 
As an 85 year old WWII U. S. Merchant Marine and U. S. Army Veteran I just ran across the "Music of WWII" as I researched a live traveling War Bond production of "This is The Army" that I was fortunate enough to see back in the 40's in Detroit.

Anyway as I searched that link I came to a page that said Music of WWII and I found a line that said:  "You're listening to two selections taken from a single recording by Harry James and his orchestra."

Unfortunately I'm not listening to anything and I'm wondering how I trigger something to start that music.  It looks like I could easily spend hours at this site but although I'm pretty literate about computers since I've been using them for 30 some years, I don't know how I trigger those two songs from the page I'm looking at.  

Can you help me.

Muse Of Music answer:
 
Only certain pages at Electricka's site are designed to play automatically when they open, and the music you are asking to hear is on one of these pages.

The feature that automatically plays music when a page opens is supported by all Internet Explorer browsers. The feature is not supported by other browsers  such as Chrome or Firefox. This may be the cause of your problem.

If you want to hear music that plays when a page opens, we suggest that you open pages with Internet Explorer.

No matter what browser you use, you should not be having trouble hearing music on any page, including pages that do not play when they open,  if you click links or images. You can hear most of the Music of WWII music this way, even if you can't hear music that automatically plays when pages open.

As you know, all browsers have their limitations and the vast majority of Internet web sites do not support every feature in every browser. Some sites avoid such limitations by not using features that are not shared by all browsers. Our visitors enjoy this feature so much, we continue to use it even though some browsers don't keep up.

Other visitors have told us that they like the feature that plays music when a page opens very much  and that they would like to be able to use other browsers without giving it up. We are exploring possible workarounds that might make this possible.

Electricka has selected Internet Explorer as its standard browser and she tries to support all of its features. If you are using Internet Explorer and don't hear music for pages that open, you may be experiencing another problem. Let us know if this is the case and we will look at your issue again in greater detail.

We hope you have a wonderful and rewarding time with Music of WWII and with Electricka's other features. Thanks for your interest and for your military service.

The Muse Of Music

Electricka welcomes you to the discussion group for the feature called Tops & Flops.
 
Here you can be a critic. Make your point about Tops & Flops lists. Share your opinions and ideas about the arts with other visitors and with Electricka's muses. Discuss, debate, or suggest new Tops & Flops lists to add to the collection.
 
What is Tops & Flops?
  • Tops & Flops consists of a collection of lists about things that people like and dislike in the arts.
  • The preponderance of lists describe things that are the best or the worst in the arts—hence the term tops & flops. Other lists represent aspects of the arts that are mediocre or neutral.
  • Lists are submitted for publication by visitors who seek to share with other visitors what they know or feel about the arts. Visitors who access Tops & Flops lists not only learn about the arts, they learn what other visitors are thinking or doing about the arts.

Learn more about Tops & Flops at the page called Tops & Flops In The Arts. Click below.

Have you developed likes and dislikes about any of the arts? Have you got firm ideas about what makes for good and bad in the arts? Electricka and her cohort muses invite you to send them a list of your favorites or least-favorites in a specific category, subject, or theme of your choosing—a Tops & Flops list—that can be published in the Tops & Flops feature pages. Heck, don't just send one list; send as  many as you like. They'll give you credit for all the work published.

Heart Have a heart. Submit a Tops & Flops list of your own making. Find out how at the page called Tops & Flops In The Arts. Click below.

Clap Electricka and her muses welcome you to the Art Games Information Clearinghouse.
 
This forum is a focal point and clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of information about arts-related games and the world of arts games and gaming. Electricka has established this clearinghouse to facilitate the exchange of information about these topics. Why?
 
The problem — Thus far, most games and gamer attention has been centered on subjects like war, crime, adventure, and fantasy. Next to nothing has been vested in the arts.
The solution — The goal of this clearinghouse is to help reverse this situation. That is:
  1. To make more arts-related games available to art enthusiasts who are gamers.
  2. To encourage all gamers to play arts-related games.
  3. To raise general gamer awareness of, knowledge of, and interest in the arts through the vehicle of games.
Clap To participate — Electricka and her muses hereby invite you to submit to this forum what you know about gaming contacts, links, news and current events, technology, announcements, and any other kind of arts-gaming information that is suitable for sharing with other visitors. Learn what other visitors have to say. Discuss issues, ask questions, supply anwers, make coments.
 
Heart Have a heart — Electricka urges you to submit what you know about this subject and to help other visitors with information and answers.
 
Clap NOTE: This Clearinghouse is part of Electricka's feature called The World Of Arts Games & Gaming. For more information, click below.

Subject: An idea for a new music feature
Posted: Jun/13/2007 at 8:40pm

Each week feature an outstanding composer, performer, composition, or performance, allowing the visitor to hear a sample of the featured music. For example, play a performance of Myra Hess playing a Beethoven sonata.
 
This would bring me back to Electricka every week.
 
You could call it Performance of the Week. how's that for a name?

Subject: A Gods List idea
Posted: Jun/13/2007 at 8:33pm

I have this great idea for a new feature for the Muse of Myth.
 
I get confused with so many gods and godesses from all over the world.
My idea is to have a sortable list of as many gods & godesses as possible in one place. Then I can search and sort for what I want.
 
What do you guys think of that?
