Play more than one song in a web page

Question

I'm working on my HTML and Javascript project and I wanted to add music for the website..

Is there any way I can put more than one song in the code to be played? And is there anyway that the song will continue when openning the next page?

Answer 1

Without using Flash, you are bound to a new HTML5 technique <audio/> , which is supported in Firefox 3.5+, Safari 4+, Chrome 3+, and Opera 10+. Here is an example:

<audio src="path/to/some/audio.file" autoplay>  
  This is a fall back for old browsers, here you could implement a Flash based audio player
</audio>  

I'm not sure if it is possible to continue the song when opening the next page, maybe you could store player data in a cookie.

Answer 2

Here is a similar question with some good answers. The comments in that question list many duplicate questions as well. Many of those answers require HTML5. There are also various Flash-based answers as well.

If you want the song to continue when opening the next page you will need to use frames (easy) or make your website entirely AJAX-driven (more tedious).
