I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you talking about a music plugin that plays in the background continuously without restarting when you move from post to post?

I'm not sure there is an answer for what you are looking for, thus no other comments.

Can't help but think it would be simpler just to pop in a CD. After all, continuously playing music is not something that your average site visitor would want to have happen,* so all you're really thinking about is something to enhance your own personal experience.

Could something be done with Ajax? In vanilla javascript, even "global" only means "as long as you stay on this page". You want something that continues as long as you're on the site.

Naah. You're not using your CD drive for anything else;** may as well play music on it.


* Well, maybe if it's a site devoted to intensive discussion of some particular work, in which case you wouldn't want to have Brandy 4 starting over again on each new thread, or we'll never get to the second movement. But maybe the solution there is a separate popup/popunder that keeps running until you close it.

Do keep in mind that Chrome, very shortly, will be silencing all autoplay video and audio. Other browsers are sure to soon follow. And the VAST majority of all users will jump for joy in that regard!

What you might wish to do is offer a click to open a window with the audio set to replay/repeat IF the user wants bird noises or humpback whales songs, or soothing surt, or gentle rain running in the back ground.

I hit a site that autostarts any kind of video or audio and I back out immediately... don't care what kind of site it is!
