how do you intergrate a muisc player into an html website that doesn't reload every time you go to another page in the site?

I've got an issue of Computer Arts that has a great example of this, done in Flash. I'm about to do the same thing for a band I've done a site for before that want to update for a record release. Hope to see some good suggestions in this thread as well.

I imagine it is done with iframes, but I'm just not sure how. Do you have a link to that article online mg33?

I don't have the magazine with me, but maybe they have it online. I can't remember if it was the regular mag or the CA Projects magazine - I think it was projects.

stick the player in your main frame and then update just the content frame.
it will fuck up your direct linking to pages though.

was going to suggest iframe too, but as skt mention will cause linking issues. what's the sitemap like?

or load all your content through ajax calls, but again, you'll have deep linking inssues. not impossible to solve, but requires much more development.

I have had to deal with this too. One solution was to have an audio player pop-up in a window. Then the user can listen while navigating through the site.
The other was to do it with frames which as stated before is not the best for links.
If you are fimiliar with AJAX and SwfAddress you can load in content and program your proper site links. Much deeper solution though.
I usually end up just building out a flash site in most of these cases.
