A client (who is not in the music business - dentist) wants me to put background music on his website. Even this is kind of a duplicate of Music on a web page? i would like to assemble a list of actual arguments to use with these kind of clients:Discretion: While surfing in a quite enviroment (office) you dont want attention drawn to you by making noiseTaste: Someone might dislike the style of the music playedAccessibility: A deaf person is discriminatedAccessibility: Someone might not have a speaker connectedResources: Additional Data must be downloaded and slows down the siteDistraction: The music might distract from the contentCost: You have to license the musicUnexpected: Someone might have turned their speaker to maximum.Incoherence: There is no connection to music on the site.Force: You might force something on a user that was not expected or maybe wanted.Are there more reasons?
