Rather depends upon how the music is being played. If it is a background
sound then indeed escape will stop it, however if this doesn't work your
next best bet is to hope that the developer at least had the good sense
to put a button to silence the music. If this is a button true then
using the b key on version 5 onwards of jfw will cycle through buttons,
it's just a matter of struggling to hear what jaws is saying through the
noise I'm afraid but at least if you know what you are hoping to hear
you might have a better chance. If no appropriate sounding buttons are
found then you could try jfw key f7 to generate a list of all the links
on the page and again try to listen to see if any of those sound like
music off, sound off, stop music etc. Anotehr alternative is that the
sound might be part of a Flash animation. Using jaws to blick the flash
will also stop the music - when on the site do jfw key v to open up
verbosity settings, press f twice to reach the show Flash animation
option, use space once to toggle this to no, and press enter. If that
does fix it then you can use jfw key, shift v, to configure that setting
for the website in question only.
Otherwise it's use a braille display, external synth, or forget it.

Hi, Folks,
I know this has been asked before but my memory must have been playing
tricks.
I enter a site on which music is blasting. How do I shut it up please?
Poor old Jaws hasn't a hope of being heard! I thought I used Escape but
it didn't work.
Best wishes,
Joan.
