Hi, I have a site that has two sections to it. My question is, is it possible to make a radio service so my users can listen to some music or news radio while they use my site. I would like for it to span over every page in my site so that when you click a link to a separate page or section on the site the music or what have you doesn't stop. Thank you

an example of the music spanning different pages can be found a www.thesixtyone.com

Does no-one have an answer for me? maby if I break it down.
I beleive that these are the resources i will need.
1. How would I create a player, that can take radio streams from places like bbc.com or any other online radio station?
2. Is there a place that allows me to "subscribe" to a station like I would with an rss feed? So that I can find the address or what have you of a particular station.
3. How would I make it so the music player would continue to play uninterupted when I click on a link to another page in my site? (im assuming a frame of some sort, but there is probably a better way)

If anyone has an aswer for any of these ?'s please let me know.
Thanks

Well few problems there.
1. You couldnt stream from bbc i dont think because their streams are encrypted i believe.
2. You need a shoutcast server if you wanna stream your own music etc. I do sell them if need http://www.biohosts.com
3. You would need to use IFrames or Ajax Content Switching or put the radio player in a popup window.
