Hi Joan,
I think I MAY possibly have found a way to stop the music.
Top right is a link called "Open player in new window". I
clicked on that, which of course opened a new window, but
with the music playing. I then closed this second window,
and the music stopped. I then appeared to be able to
navigate without the music blaring.
However, it does leave a scrolling "ticker" saying "***
click on an item to start ***", which may or may not affect
JAWS.
George.

Thanks, Adrian.
No buttons, no stop music links, flash off didn't stop the
music, so I'll just have to grit my teeth and try to hear
myself emailing him through the contact link.
If anyone wants to hear the music, which is fine if it
wasn't too loud, the link is
http://www.ianwalkeronline.com/
Best wishes,
Joan.
