embedded sound

Hello All, I have embedded an mp3 on one of my pages, the way I did it is probably not the best way, but it seems to work OK. . . except for one thing.

I have a few pop-up browsers on this page that takes you to a couple more features of the page. In IE, when I click on one of the pop-up links, the music stops playing, even though the page that the sound is on is still up. Now, it will not do this in Mozilla, when I use Mozilla, I can click on the pop-up links and the music keeps playing. I would like to it keep playing until ones actually leaves the page.

can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks.
