Elevator Music

[JW]

I'm trying to set up streaming, background music on a website, in wma
format, that plays automatically when the home page is opened, and continues
to play as the viewer browses between web pages. Yeah, I know..... Anyway,
everything I've come up with either requires frames or runs into problems
with pop-up blockers. Is there any technology or tools out there that will
let me accomplish this, either within or outside FP, while still avoiding
both frames or being blocked as a pop-up? Thanks for your thoughts and
suggestions.

No
Each browser window is unique,
- that is why you need frames so the music browser window never changes/closes

Or you can pop-up a small window that plays the music.

What about anyone who doesn't want to hear the music? Yes, I know they can
use the mute button on the speaker, but they just might refuse to goto your
website after they discover they can't use a button to shut off the music.
My design books seem to consider music that can't be shut off to be a pretty
bad idea.
