I have a musician client who insists on having a Flash player which
starts playing a song when the site is loaded. (I realize that the user
should have a say in the matter, and if I didn't need the money I'd
insist on it.)

Worse, she wants the player to play the song *continuously*, even when
other pages in the site are visited (as opposed to the song starting
over on every click). The only way I can think to accomplish this is to
place the player in a frame, and I hate frames almost as much as I hate
unrequested audio. This may simply be because I don't know that much
about frames and have no desire to dig into them, if it's not necessary.

I simply don't have much experience with media players and would love
some advice on whether this is possible without (or even with!) frames.
As mentioned I already realize it's undesirable.

Many thanks in advance.
