Looking for a solution for a non-reloading mp3-player

  • I’m developing a site for a coverband. The band offcourse wants a mp3-player within so that visitors can hear examples of their tunes.

    We (the band and I) would also like the mp3-player to appear in the sidebar (or in top or bottom of site) with a playlist.

    I’ve found one for this called “Flash Mp3 Player”.

    The problem is that we really world like music to play continuous when you jump/surf around the website. As it is now the song stops/restarts when you go to another place on the site.

    I’ve also found this player “Streampad” that is another intresting solution that I might considering using. But i tried it and it is acting the same way.

    Is there someone that have a solution for this or any ideas how to solve it

    One idea that i have is to use “frames” but it is no so tempting

    Take a look at the site…

  • I would like a continuous music player for wordpress, as well.
    If you find a solution, not on this forum, still please post it here.

    Thanks.

    Few ways I could think of doing this
    1) Frames. Yuck I know, they are not 100% search friendly. But with some .htaccess trickery you could manipulate the frame to show up regardless of the page called.
    Thinking behind it..
    If a page is loaded not inside a Frame.. redirect to a PHP page that dynamically rebuilds the frames with 1 frame the MP3 player and the other the page desired. This needs severe testing testing because what if you accidentally load the frame page within the frame page????

    2) Pop up Window. Pretty self explanatory.. of course you run into the possibility of the user disabling pop ups. Which leads to the VERY user friendly option of “Click Here To Listen To Us”. It loads a pop up, a user knows about it, where it is.. and can keep it open.

    3) Redesign WordPress to be 100% ajax!
