Is there a way to make the default embedded Flash audio player continue playing while someone navigates the site? The player is themed into the sidebar of every page.

It would have to go in a frame or a separate window.

agreed i think the way to accomplish this is pushing the player to a new window.

Christian,

The issues is not AJAX or FLASH. You simply cannot have an MP3 playing in continuity if the Application that plays it is not in continuity. Meaning if the app reloads with a page refresh or change the song will stop, becuase the application is closed and then reopened. There are three ways around this problem:

Project Opus gets around this by launching a new player window.

Beta Records gets around this by using frames.

Fine Tune gets around this by having their entire site rely heavily on AJAX, so all content loads via AJAX calls. The Player does not load or reload all other content does. If that makes sense.
