I'm working on a music site for my own material, with the coffeecup software.  I will use the CC Jukebox on the index page, with 4 songs on shuffle.  One of my pet peeves is a site where a song starts playing on the index, then stops when you navigate, and starts all over when you return.

I would like the player to persist through page views - first choice: visible throughout, so you can change the song from a different page; second choice: visible only on the start page, so you can change songs from there - last choice, I guess I can have a noskin player that loops, but I would like a prospective venue owner to be able to pick new songs at will.

I'll appreciate anything, from "oh, I've done that" to "maybe this thread or resource will help."

Since this is my first post, and I've been hosted here only a few weeks, I'd like to especially thank the moderators and community members from whom I've learned so much already.

I agree, GM, that frames are not desirable - they're always boxy and feel old fashioned.

Is this a useful focusing of my question?  If I have a jukebox on the index page, with active controls, can the music continue during the rest of the navigation, and still be controlled from the index?

I guess this is a "speakers in every room" model.
