Hi,

could anyone have a quick look at this site and see if everything loads correctly. link below:

It’s working fine at my end, but the client is having a couple of problems with the mp3’s loading.

He went to internet cafe to have a look but just got the quick time logo coming up where the mp3s are on the page - but suspect the cafe didn’t have quicktime loaded on machines.

It takes a few seconds to load as so many mp3’s on one page.

Could I convert the mp3s to html5 and would that help them load quicker?

thanks for you time.

Cheers

Peter

I am not sure whether this is supposed to be a landing page or not.

But if it is then it is just wrong to have all those mp3s slowing down your page load.

Far better to have a lead in page that tells the visitor what to expect.

thanks everyone,

Dave - the client wanted all the tracks on one page, did suggest other options to him.

Is there a quicker way, how about html5 would that work?

I know soundcloud is a good option but client doesn’t want to go down that route

This can be a difficult issue for designers, when clients ignore our advice
and decide that we are merely facilitators of their superior design
concepts.

And you will provide a better service to your client if you can reinforce the message until it sinks in.

At the moment he will lose more visitors than will wait around - his loss ultimately.
