  I need to know how to add background music to a wordpress site that will play continuously regardless of the page.

  **Please don’t respond by telling me that it’s such a bad idea to have background music that plays automatically. I already know that. This is for a client that’s adamant about having it.

  Thanks

  My condolences on the client. I hope they’re not big Josh Groban fans.

  Thanks dingledodie. This isn’t quite what they want. They want the song to play continuously throughout the site uninterrupted (like a flash site). Is that possible?

  @claddison
  The WordPress player does not provide autoplay music.

  (Emphasis mine)

  To my knowledge, an entirely Flash-based website would be very complicated, if not impossible on WordPress.com. Maybe your client should consider another solution?
