Is it possible to have background music that plays (loops) when the user is not viewing (streaming) a video? In the past I have done this by including some actionScript that stops the background music loop whenever a video PLAY link is selected.. but I don't know how to do this with the JW MediaPlayer. I read that the ImageRotator can have background music, but I don't want the background music to play when a video is being viewed.

This can be done b using two players and a little bit of javascript. The backgroundplayer plays, and if the 'real' player starts, it pauses through javascript.
