first off i would like to say that as far as programing goes i am a complete noob in everything but html and a little bit of css.

i currently have on my website a marquee of one album for each of my favorite musical artists. it is very simple, which i like. it is simply a bunch of images next to each other in a marquee tag. the problem is, when going to my website, every image needs to load individually and because there is over 400 images it takes an extremely long time.

i know if i were to create a flash animation that it would load much faster, but i have no idea on how to do that. there may also be an easier way to do it using some other programing language. basically i would like to know how i can go about making something which looks exactly like what i have now, but will load a lot quicker.

thanks!

You're loading about 2megs of images that few visitors will bother to look at plus the streaming audio. That's a huge bandwidth load. I think your best bet is to choose a couple dozen images to load and rotate them occasionally.
