    Question From A Novice -- 2nd Domain and FTP

    I am rather novice when it comes to site creation. I created a basic info site that has 4 pdf's and one mp3 file on it.

    When a viewer clicks on the link for the mp3 it opens and just plays the audio over the main page, thus not allowing the visitor to both listen to the audio and continue to browse.

    That said -- What I would ideally like to do is set it up so that the viewer, when clicking on the mp3 link, are able to listen to the audio (on a 2nd page?) all while being able to maneuver our site.

    Would I use my hosts FTP to create a 2nd domain to host JUST the audio? And if so -- How do I set an audio link on Page #1 that would route the visitor to Page #2?

    This has come up before.

    The simplest solution is to make your site with a frameset and put the sound file in the frameset file so that when people move from one frame to another, the frameset does not change. Or similarly have a main page with the sound and people move between iFrames.

    The alternative is, I think, PHP which is beyond my capabilities.
    Code downloaded to my PC will be deleted in due course.
    WIN7; IE9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari for Windows; screen resolution usually 1366*768.
    Also IE6 on W98 with 800*600 and IE8 on Vista 1440*900.
