Attaching wav files would be a killer on space and bandwith ...

If your set on doing it, you can allow .wav files to be uploaded somewhere in the admin panel.

I am sure there's a neat javascript out there that will give you play buttons and such - which you can then toss in a vbcode.

you can install my upload hack i made and let users upload wav files that they can play, saves mysql space, also i made a vbcode that can set the background music of a thread

can you give me the vbcode so that users can set certain background music? that sounds cool... :)

use option: yes

Allowing users to set their own backgroun sounds?

Whats to stop them from getting a 20mb wav file uploaded and then putting in the bbcode to load the 20mb wav, it might annoy some users if they go to a page and it crashes their browser as it attempts to download and play this wav file.

Not to mention the interesting problem you get when several people use the vb-code in the same thread...
