uninterrupted mp3 playback -- HTML

    I have a client who wants an mp3 to play automatically upon loading the site. I've done this before, but every time I've done it, the song has to reload when I change pages. Is there a way to make the song play uninterrupted while I navigate around the different pages of site? And for it to work in all browsers?

    Thanks!

    Since obviously the page completely reloads each time you click on something it doesn't seem possible with just a normal non-flash website to do. The only way I could think making it work, because I have had many clients ask and I have told them no, would be making a frame in the site that would always stay the same and load the mp3 in that. Of course with that you would run into SEO problems. I would love to hear if anyone has actually got a workaround to make this work.

    Just a thought, might be possible for a script or swf in the background of each page that would pass info about the mp3's position when the user leaves a page but then loads that position when it loads a new page. I think you would get pauses in the mp3 though each time it has to reload.
