Forcing Wordpress Header to not refresh on page load

Question

Hi- I developed a band website using wordpress, and I placed a flash MP3 player that autoplays in the header. Whenever you click on a link, the entire page refreshes and the mp3 player starts playing the first song all over again. I wish to have the entire header including the mp3 player) stay constant while the content/sidebar/footer reloads when you click a link. That way the music will continue playing while the rest of the page loads, and the user can have a real listening experience.

To all of your knowledge, is there any way to do this without making the rest of the site completely dynamic?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There are acutally only two ways to do this without Ajax:

1. Use a frameset (which is a very bad idea nowadays)
2. Use a pop-up which holds the player

I know that pop-ups might be blocked, but this is the only way that users will accept. many large sites with audio players use pop-ups for such a functionality.
