I was perusing real estate agent websites, from a Google search, and found one that plays music...

Don't play music on your website!

It's annoying, not pretty.

Imagine yourself in a library, trying to read some important information, or trying to research something, and then this guy sits down next to you, and turns on his boom box.

It's like having that animated paperclip appear everytime you to do something on Word or Excel. You spent all this money on a website, why would you want to drive customers away?

There's no such thing as "ambience" with websites. It's not television.
