bgsound loop glitches

Im trying to make background music for a website im doing for a school project. www.waveartists.com/dart

Heres how i do it. The main site consists of 2 frames; a 0 pixel high frame at the top, in which contains the bgsound element with no initialized file property. and then the main frame which contains the actual site.

Then i use javascripts to manipulate and load songs into the top frame so that the music continues while users navigate the side thru the links.

The issue is: im looping the background themes, but when a song comes to an end, there is a small glitch in the sound before it continues on next iteration in the loop. (the loop property is set to infinity)

Is there any way to fix this? i tried embedding the sound with <embed> tag, but same glitch appeared.

(i use mp3 files, so it might be the rebuffering of the tune that might the problem !!??)

Any help appreciated. The important thing is that i can control the property of the player with a javascript.

I tested some stuff on my site, and remembered your post...

Yeah, I think there's a slight pause before it loops over again if you use <bgsound>. My suggestion is to use flash.

well then i wont have control over the sequence by javascript though

mp3s will always have a pause before/after the track no matter what you do (burn, loop). Convert it to wave and loop the wav

ouch.. well i did that, and turns out the size is 3 doubled. do anyone know of good compression methods?

the mp3 weighed in at about 284kb whereas the wave was 787.

errr.. help?

Use flash. Use actionscript, can do same things as javascript for what you need.

if the glitch is in the mp3 file, wouldnt actionscript produce the same result?

Hmm... Maybe

I tried .wavs and it still pauses at the end. (I'm 90% sure)
