Hello!

I'm a musician and I already have configured an audio player for my website. But I don't know how to achieve this:

I'd like to have the audio player shown on all pages, in a way that the music plays while the viewer browses through all pages, but so that the player plays continuously (i.e. doesn't load from the start again all the time the viewer goes to a different page).

I'd like to achieve that without frames or iframes. Is this possible? How?
Thank you very much for your help!

Server side includes would be the only remaining option.

I have to say, if you're going to insist on playing your music on your site, then at least give people the option for turning it off.

Thanks.

I tried SSI but the player is reloaded everytime the viewer goes to a new page and then starts to play from the beginning again. Maybe there is a trick which I don't know?!

I'd like to have the player playing continuously without being reloaded (and don't worry, it's a flash player with a pause button!).

Any idea?

This may help - I used it some time ago by placing a link to an online radio station on the site, which would pop up and play uninterrupted when clicked. I'm sure you can modify it to pop up automatically.

Javascript in head section:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(mylink, windowname){if (! window.focus)return true;var href;if (typeof(mylink) == 'string') href=mylink;else href=mylink.href;window.open(href, windowname, 'width=300,height=50,scrollbars=yes');return false;}//--></script>

Menu link is something like this:

<a href="/media/" 
   onclick="return popup(this, 'notes')" class="menu">Radio</a>

For simplicity, I'm attaching the content of the media folder in a zip file. You'll want to probably edit the index.html, and put the link to your music files in the vortex.m3u file.

Nitpickers may find some errors in document types and such, but it works fine.

Thanks a lot, very kind of you!

But I really wanted the player on top of the pages. So I come to the conclusion that unfortunately there are no other options rather than frames, which I'll use.

If you like brazilian music, here goes my website:

If I was going to build a web site with a music player, then I think I would use frames as well. I would use a very small Top frame and then a large main frame which has all of the content.
