the ONLY problems we are encountering with our new web site (www.jerrybyrdfanclub.com)
are the folks with MACS that cannot get the music. Is there a simple FIX? |

| I couldn't reach it at that address Ray; I would be glad to try and troubleshoot it if I can see the site. |

Ray,
You're right, it won't play on a Mac. When I post an .mp3 on the web I don't bother with putting a player on the page with it, I just make a link to the .mp3 and the browser, on whatever platform, plays it the way the user has it configured for playing media files.

Yes there is a simple fix using basic HTML.
I suggest putting a link to the actual MP3 for folks whose browser does not auotomatically play the song.
For example, at the bottom of your main page put:
[url=http://www.jerrybyrdfanclub.com/music/sun shadows.mp3]Click Here[/url] if you do not hear the music.
Also, because some browsers have trouble with spaces in file names, I suggest you name you songs without spaces in their titles. So sun spots.mp3 becomes sun_spots.mp3.
