I'm trying to listen to some radio music online. If you go to here and click on the 5th link in the "audio link" section where it says "opera....", it redirects you to this page which supposedly should play the music. However, it doesn't work on my laptop. With omnipage, it does bring a player at the very bottom, and when i press play, it just writes 2048 beside it and nothing happens. With firefox, it just opened a blank page at first. I uninstalled flip4mac and reinstalled it, and now it says 'flip4mac cannot open this movie."

Suggestions, please?

There are some websites that are simply only coded to work in IE.... thus you could perhaps try accessing via parallel's or VM-ware.

Hmm...my browser just opens a dload window for a .asx file which opens in Quicktime but does not play. Dodgy audio formats ftw.
