mp3player auto-play and continuous play across page changes

I'm a newbie, but have managed to crank out converting my site to drupal. See it at http://portlandtango.com (be kind, I'm not a programmer, I'm a dancer...)

I want to have an mp3 start playing automatically when a user enters the site, and continue playing uninterrupted as they change pages within the site.

I have added mp3player module and the WordPress player and set it up in a block with code from http://www.macloo.com/examples/audio_player/ by Mindy McAdams and it was very easy and works (thanks Mindy!)

But... two problems: I can't figure out how to get the audio to play automatically when I go to the site. I'd like the audio to start automatically, and have the player there so the user can disable the audio if they want, and probably related, with this initial config, when I change to a new page, the player stops and has to be restarted on every page change. I'd like the music to continue uninterrupted like in the background as users surf the site. I saw a similar question posted by someone else, but no one had responded...

Do I need to use a different player module? Install the player somewhere besides in a block?

Thanks for any help leading me in the right direction.
