Tom,
from a quick check around it seems there are a host of possibilities with
mp3, of which the chief is bitrate. Since I did all the files the same way
I don't think that's my problem. There's file damage during transfer,
memory shortage at the critical time, and (this seems a possible) audio
players vary in how they solve problems of corruption.
But I'll see if there are clues to which it is tomorrow. I just jad a
much lesser glitch with today's file, but it played fine on a second click,
so I assume that was a download damage first time.

Joseph,
I'm sorry to report that I still get the same results - first time crashes
IE6 and all subsequent attempts result in simply a short 'squeak'.
I've had mpeg4 files crash my browser, but when they do, Microsoft states
that I don't have the correct CODEC for the file type. I've never had
that kind of problem with MP3 files before this, though.
Since I didn't "Send Report" to Microsoft either time the browser crashed
with your page, I don't know the cause of it, but it may be related.
It has nothing to do with memory - I have 1 gig of fast RAM on a 3 ghz
dual-P4 multimedia production system.
I also don't think it has anything to do with CODECs, because I am able to
'download' it and play it perfectly through Windows Media Player 10 - all
20 seconds of it.
I looked at the source and everything looks fine, so I am at a loss at
this point of ideas on what might be causing the 'squeak'.
Let me know if you figure anything out - I'd be interested in knowing.
Cheers,
Tom

had not played properly, cutting off half-way through for me and replaying
just that first half again. For Riva it played correctly but for Tom it
gave just a squeak. I have deleted it on the server and uploaded it
again and it now worked okay for me.
Could Riva nad Tom - and anyone else who would like to - please check that
it now plays for 20 secs (it's an mp3).
Thanks
Joseph
