@[email protected] @[email protected] I think I actually have a few of my 90s-era sites archived. One of them should have an auto play midi for the background music. I'll see if I can dig it up!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I actually started down this path a little while back and have since gotten sidetracked.

@tokenwizard @asklemmy I'm thinking of eventually doing three websites.
One that's a '90s pastiche (that one), a minimalist personal website that takes some elements of the '90s web but tones them down a notch, and a blog.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I was thinking an old forum like Simple Machines or something.
I think that maybe not knowing how to make the embedded midi auto-play is more authentic!
But I used to use Autostart=true in the Embed tag.
@[email protected] I was trying this with the HTML5 audio tag but not having any luck. It may be client browser specific.
Ah, sorry, I was only looking at what I did in the 90s!
Looking at the page, there's a console error that says something about "invoke Tone.start()" so I wonder if it needs some javascript to do that, maybe
<script type="text/javascript">Tone.start();</script>I think that it's including this player code?
https://www.npmjs.com/package/midi-player-js
But the docs there describe creating a new MidiPlayer object and calling play() instead of start(), so I'm probably not helping.
I don't work with javascript, so this is all pure guesswork.
