Hey Stuart you should be able to simply stream tracks within e-music without the use of an external player. It may be that you have the internal streaming option disabled. Give this a try and see how yours is set up.

Go to "Your Account" and look at the Account Options on the left hand side and scroll down to the "Downloading and Streaming" option and click on "Streaming Sample Settings".

My own account is set up as follows:

• Status

  Embedded Sound Samples: ENABLED

eMusic's 30-second audio samples are set to play automatically within your browser, without launching a media player. Nice! Note that you must have Flash 9 installed in order to utilize this feature. To install Flash 9 click here.

But, if you prefer to listen to audio samples using your Media Player just click the button below. The change will not affect downloading or playback of downloaded tracks.

Let me know if you are still having trouble after checking this out.

Thanks again Marc for being a gracious host on Friday night.
