Some folks can here the Playlist music just fine on the main page, but can't hear the music in our "In Memory" page. “Anyone run into this? I did a bit of research and found that the ones that are having this problem use Firefox. I did a search in the forums about this and didn’t find anything specific to this(although I could’ve missed it as there are tons of music entries). Brad: Should we have a Firefox category/folder to help with Firefox issues or aren’t there enough to do that? Thanks !!

Interesting... First, I hear your music in Firefox without having to scroll. Scrolling shouldn't affect whether you hear sound or not -- although I realize it seems to be affecting you. Could have something to do with loading on your computer, or processor issue maybe, or possibly just coincidental that it happened to start playing right as you were scrolling. In any case, I believe for the vast majority of Firefox users your home page music plays and works fine without scrolling. Next issue, you're right, I can hear the In Memory music in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. Question is why... I see that you've changed the Playlist code to not display the plugin at all, which shouldn't make any difference in Firefox -- at least I've never heard of it making a difference in Firefox anyway. So I'm going to make a guess that something else got changed in the code. Possibly one lone character that may be causing the entire issue. So I'd like you to do a test for me: 1) Please remove your Playlist code completely. I'm interested in hearing your results, so please post them back here when done.

Oh by the way no, I don't think we need a separate Firefox category. Firefox is a very good browser. If anything we need an Internet Explorer category.

It's not the main topic of this post and isn't a really big issue in the overall scheme of things but when using Safari I find that I often don't hear a Playlist until I scroll down to it.

How interesting... I have heard this before but have never been able to repeat it. I can only imagine it has to do with RAM, or processing power, or something technical like that. Who knows.

I've always considered it to be a Firefox 'quirk'. I've used FF from day #1 and my playlists DO NOT even attempt to load (for me) until I scroll down to them (Main Page). Whereas, in using IE, the playlists start seconds after the page itself loads.

I deleted the Playlist code from "In Memory" and closed my browser (clears everything on close). Ps: I hear you re IE

Interesting... In case you're interested in trying other music alternatives, I added a couple more this morning that people have been talking about here to our FAQS. 1) Click FAQs above

A note on AOL Radio. You say in the FAQs that it's commercial free. I tried it out and that's not my experience. Every so often it is interrupted with the statement that the music will be back in about two minutes.

Me thinks I'll try to move the Playlists up on the pages and then make them transparent. Then, they should load no matter which browser is used……I hope.
I went back to the way it was. Firefox just doesn't want to play well with others for some reason. Thank you Brad and thanks to all who responded. Gary

Just FYI, this is what I received from Playlist. (I like FireFox, but I did put a comment on my site stating that it is best viewed using Internet Explorer). Hi Gary, With some versions of Firefox, Flash content will not start until it is in the viewable area - Mozilla can probably best address why this is the case, I'd love to know myself. As a work around your members could move the player to the top of the page (if possible), or suggest viewing with IE. If you hear back from Mozilla I'd be very interested in what they have to say, in particular if it is a version or setting issues. -------------------------------
