Jim,

For someone who says he's new to making websites, you've put together a pretty awesome effort!

[rant] Since you asked, please DON'T have music play automatically when the site comes up. It's one of my pet peeves. And just because it's a peeve of mine doesn't mean it's not a bad idea too . Lots of reasons, chief among them: people surfing at work, levels coming in w-a-y higher than the last thing I listened to, surprising the daylights out of me (or the whole family if it's late at night!), and it's a waste of bandwidth which you could be using to have your site load faster (and that's always a good thing!) In the case of showcasing jukeboxes, which make music, it would be certainly be appropriate to have music available for playing either with the video clips, or with the page itself, but please, please give the viewer the choice! [/rant]

Just my 2-cents, if strong ones!

--Dave
