Hello Marcelo, with your permission I am going to ask you a question. I have a blog, and I've always had music on the blog, because I love it while I'm on it, listening to background music, and suddenly the music stops playing, I looked for there but nothing, it still doesn't work. Can you help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.
