[Dixielandjazz] Can you hear it?

[D and R Hardie]

Hello all,
                  Many thanks to Jen  and all those who answered my 
query. In summary it seems that people using PC’s  are able to access 
the mp3 clips without difficulty but some Mac users cannot open the mp3 
files, though others can.  It appears to be a browser issue. Safari 
tells me that  opening the files requires a plug in it does not 
support. I downloaded Flashplayer 7 but it did not improve the 
situation on the ppc eMac. Strangely, I tried to follow the suggestion 
of a list member  that I try to make a widget from the site and I found 
I could hear the music when I tried to preview the widget - using the 
same computer!  (The mp3 files were made on that computer using 
Audacity). My intel based Mac laptop plays them well using Flip4mac or 
Perian plug ins  but these do not work on the ppc.
I will now approach the eSnip site managers to seek a solution.

thanks again
Dan Hardie
