Matthew,
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and help. Your links are great resource!
One thing is for sure that the server www.multimedia.net will play in IE and FF because it has the mp3 headers correct, while www.hamsterballstudios.com has the headers incorrectly.
So to recap.
1. headers in multimedia247.net are set up properly 2. headers in hamsterballstudios.com are not set up correctly 3. code does not validate
- solution
1. fix the headers in hamsterballstudios.com 2. fix HTML
So my fears that the server in hamsterballstudios.com is not set up correctly which is the clients server.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it. Helmut

Ok... this site is producing vastly different to the headers you previously posted. There's now - perhaps magically - a content-type. As that was the bit I was asking about I'm guessing you just didn't post that bit last time or something. Christ...
The mp3 < http://tinyurl.com/6dz8u > is sent with these headers (note: text/plain),
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 01:01:59 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) Last-Modified: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 00:46:13 GMT ETag: "9853fa-1a51f5-422e4755" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 1724917 Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain
FF - Fails Server 2 http://www.multimedia247.net/mp3test/volaunch2.html
The mp3 < http://tinyurl.com/44ptd > is sent with these headers (note: audio/mpeg, which is more correct)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 01:04:06 GMT Server: Apache Last-Modified: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 22:53:33 GMT ETag: "57c00d-1a51f5-422f7e6d" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 1724917 Connection: close Content-Type: audio/mpeg
So....get hamsterballstudios.com to return the correct content-type (audio/x-mp3), and then work on the html.
This HTML works in Firefox and IE for me, http://www.multimedia247.net/mp3test/volaunch3.html , but fails validation.
Get your html to validate - that's half of the problem (well that and the mime headers which have mysteriously reappeared). To get Firefox compatibility there's no need for the older embed tag, provided your object tags are good (previously posted example code works, as do many others).
1. fix your http headers 2. then fix your html
