jQuery .load event refreshes Flash mp3 player in IE only

Hey all,
 
On my site http://www.section30band.com, if you click one of the navigation links (all links perform a .load() when clicked), something is forcing the mp3 player to be refreshed.  This "piles" up the songs and obviously sounds like garbage...  This ONLY happens in IE! 
 
Firefox, Safari and Chrome all behave as expected.  The click event has a "return false".  Through commenting out other statements, I have come to the conclusion that it is the .load() call.
 
I've been fighting this for a couple weeks and any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you,
