The web page is here:

http://www.amandacarpenterphotography.com

What my client wants is for a song to play when you first show up at the site, with the ability to pause/play at any point when browsing. She also wants teh same song to continue to play as you browse different pages on the site..

I found a tutorial on how to add .mp3's to the web site but it took FOREVER to load (like 90 seconds on DSL)

So I know there is a fast, efficient way to play songs on web sites. I have seen them in flash on other web sites.

Also, I do not even know if XML is the best way to approach this.

please help!!!!
