Hi All, Thanks for helping me with this. If I point the browser directly to the mp3 file on the local file system, the quicktime plug-in opens and plays the file, no problemo. The Page Info in the media tab, has the URI of the mp3 file grayed out in the address box, Type box = Embed. It also has the following: Location: file:///C:/Program%20Files/media/where_to_begin.mp3 Type: audio/x-mpeg Size: Unknown (not cached) Dimensions: 0px × 0px Media Preview is not available. It really seems as though it's the object tag when opened from a local file location that doesn't let the media through. Actually when I load the simple html file above, I see the play bar for just a second, before it does gray and turns into a quicktime icon, as if it were going to play, but then something stops it. I'm not sure what you mean by what type does your OS map .mp3 files to, but the default reader for .mp3 is quicktime. Is that what you were asking? Does this happen on your machines with firefox 3 as well? I'll try to test it on another comp, but it doesn't seem like I'm doing anything very special, and it's bizarre that it works when loaded from a localhost server.
