Streaming Media Server problems may prevent music from playing. You'll see the difference right away, as the music should start to play a few seconds after you click. If your Internet connection is slow or the net is congested, playback may be erratic.
Higher fidelity requires faster data rates.
Some of the musical selections here are intended for 56k or better Internet connections. If the music stops and starts or quits altogether, select the 28.8k version of the selection. Other streaming media formats include RealAudio and Liquid Audio . Windows Media Player will not play Liquid Audio, but MediaPlayer 7 and later will play RealAudio. You can also download free players.
