dumdumsareyum Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Is there a way to play music continuously while navigating through different pages, without using AJAX or frames? something like determining where the track is when the user leaves the page and then picking up at that time on the next page?

jackpf Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The only way I can think of is if the user submitted their place every time they went to a different page. I have no idea how you'd do this though. Plus, there'd be lag between each page. Doesn't sound like a very good idea tbh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This was just asked three days ago by abother user. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,242294.msg1132048.html#msg1132048 And, the answer remains the same. It may be technically possible, but not realistic. jackpf stated youwould track how much they had played each time the page was refreshed, then dynamically create a new music file when the next page loads starting where the last page left off. This would be a huge amount of overhead and there would be a very noticable lag for the user when changing pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limitphp Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 how about launching a new page, but making it nice and small and having that page play the song while they surf? realistically, they'll keep that page minimized and out of the way.

jackpf Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'd just use frames tbh. They wouldn't even know the frame was there, and it would play continuously. Why don't you want to use them..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksharkmedia Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've had the same problem and the only solution was to add a small frame in the bottom of the page, where the music was loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 you can do a small open window, or a i frame or JavaScript window pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
