Hi All,

I want to add a song into the home page that starts up automatically when you go to the website. I also want the song to keep playing when people are visiting other pages on the website...I don't want the song to stop and restart everytime someone clicks on a different page.

Also, I will have a list of music on other pages and want the home page music to stop once someone clicks on another song on a different page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Two other potential methods:

• Launch hidden child window to play music. 
  The issue here is that you must manage the child window and somehow synchronize its closing with your visitor departing your site.  The most reliable way is to have the child window asynchronously check in with the parent window and/or with a user status on the host website.  If the child window is unable to determine that a user is still visiting your site, it will end the music and close itself.
   
• Fade out/in for page changes with music continuity.
  This is a much nicer option though the music does get interrupted.  In this scenario you capture the navigate / window.location event.  When a user clicks to a new page, you first do a quick music fade and set a session variable (er, session object) with the current music selection and the playback position.  On the new page load, do a quick fade in on the music from the point of the previous page's fade out.  You'll probably have to create your own simple Flash-based music player in order to make it "fade-in / fade-out aware" and take control of the starting point for fade-in.
