How to Add Continuous Music Over Multiple Slides

SOLUTION: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hxAwVN7YPDjwKtHtnigHn4GN_ujEDq89/view?usp=sharing (Also downloadable pdf doc attached)

Please Note: After researching different articles and tutorials, I can assure you that these solutions on the internet don’t fully work. “Fully work” meaning that they either work on Articulate Storyline 2 and below as in this case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giW_sabAgSc Or simply refuse to fire on different browsers like Safari or Chrome, as in this case: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/background-audio-cool-trick Ditch the above for a solid JavaScript solution that works great across all browsers, regardless of Articulate Storyline version.

See how I used this technique in my own project: https://www.redesignedminds.com/portfolio-item/essential-breakdown/

  • Hi

    How will I go about applying the same method/ process if I am exporting my content into a video?

      Hi Yasin, I left this thread a while ago, did you ever get the needed help you wanted?

  • Great work Paul! It's working absolutely fine as I tried it in my dummy file. Thanks a lot for this post!!

  • It will be of a great help if you could let me know how to stop the first music and start playing the second (different) music. And then at a desired point (event) completely STOP all the music completely - unlike the current unstoppable loop of the music.

    (In one of my urgent projects, I need the music to be played only when the learner gets into a question bank + has to experience different (but continuous) music in different question banks (The question banks have several randomized questions) + stop the music when we get out of the question banks).

    Any help in this regard please?

  • Hi Paul love link and the work you put together on SL - great stuff.

     

    I'm a complete novice and learning SL at the moment. Baptism of fire. I understand your document but i'm lost where I should save the mp3. Can some one point me in the right direction.

     

    Thanks

  • I too have tried every method and can never get it to work. I've even uploaded to ScormCloud and my own LMS thinking that it would maybe work that way. No dice.

    Hi all and thank you for your efforts.

    The technique works for me, but the main problem as already stated is that one can't change volume or mute the music with the sound control that is on articulate. Any way or javascript hack to allow that ?

  • Hi everyone. I was able to put the audio in one project but I am trying to put it in other project and it doesn't work and I follow the same steps. What can be happen?

    Dear All,
