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?

Any help would be awesome, thanks!!!

I don't think this is possible using ftp... you could use a http (edit: i meant to say html, it shouldn't matter what type of protocol it uses.) frontend and make the link open in a different tab/page or embed it. im not an experienced web developer so i could be wrong.

The user above basically has it right. Just have them click on a link to listen to it that opens a new window with that mp3. If you want you can even design a page for that small pop mp3 page. To have it open in a new browser just use <a href="yourmp3location" target="_blank">Listen to mp3</a>
