Is there a reason to load it into a hidden frame other that just to get 
it to play?

If now, in the movie with the links to songs, but a MC on your main 
timeline - call it something like audio_holder, then instead of loading 
the swf into a new frame, say:

_root['audio_holder'].loadMovie('my_song.swf');

Funny that you want to do this though: that the browser doesn't always 
automatically let the user know what's going on in the status bar is in 
my opinion one of Flash's drawbacks ...
