Persistent Panel

Persistent Panel

I'm trying to create a music playing application. I wanted to have the new Panel widget act as the player/playlist. The user can go through the library by artist, album, etc. in the main view and click to add songs to the playlist, which would be stored in the Panel. I am using a multi-page format (all pages are in one html file). 

I know I can just dynamically load the Panel with the playlist when the user switches between pages, but I don't want the html5 music player that I have in the Panel to stop and start each time.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
