Hi,
Is there a way to design a website to have an mp3 player on all pages that doesn't stop playing at page moving?

I think a pop out player is the best you may get unless you hack a method up with iframes.

the old website was made with frames ;) popups are no good either I guess

Or maybe run all page-changes through AJAX so you don't do any HTML page loads?

That would solve the problem. But how to do it in Drupal??

There seems ot be a number of ways to do this, each has it's own advantages/disadvantages;

Frames (Likely to kill any SEO)
Popout player (Anoying to have loads of windows open and can get lost behind the active window)
Shared Flash objects (Not sure about this although I have seen it recommended as a solution in the past)

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Other than this, you are reloading the page, so I'm not sure how you could do it.

see this ttp://jamendo.com .... I know it is NOT Drupal :D however the way they use seems great :D the ideas seems pretty simple ... but I'm not sure it runs as follows :d

The first time u click any "play" button, a window just pops out with the player ... then, in the side bar there is what seems to be an ifram of the player pop-up window... whenever u click any other link the player just changes to the new track :D.... how can we achieve similar effect in Drupal !
