    well i looked at the source and its all frames!
    looks like all flash an java script and .jsp (what ever that is?)
    but im new to all this so im not sure!

    is there a way i can do something like this without frames(i was always told frames are bad?!)
    i just want the music to keep playing from page to page without a pause restart etc.
    should i just go with frames or a pop up of some kind?
    will frames affect pr etc is there a way to seo frames?

    please help me if you can! Im lost!
    i can post all the source codes if needed!
    let me know
    Thanks

    Frames are not bad in and of themselves, the thing is that they can be easily abused, search engines don't always handle them properly and people can jump directly into the content without the frame for navigation, etc. It's up to you to decide if the advantages out-weight the disadvantages.

    You could also iframes (you could have one iframe with the changing content and another one displaying the video) or css layers with a dash of javascript or go fully with Ajax programming.

    By the way, I really don't recommend having video or audio start suddenly without user control. You don't know where people will be using your site, plus it will eat bandwidth like a starved hog, both yours and your visitors. It's always better to have a "click here" and have clear descriptions of what it is. In there you can tell them that they can continue to navigate the site without the clip stopping.
