Soundclick is terrible!


Every other link I click on in Windows causes this error:

"Microsoft Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience."


And in KMedia under KDE, forget it! Won't even start to open it.


I am beginning to HATE soundclick.
They need to learn how to properly format their damned m3u's!

Internal link is bad. I had to HACK IT!

But, Clicking HERE will open it in Netscape/Mozilla/Nautilus/Konqueror:

http://soundclick.notlong.com :-)

Interesting song, BTW.

FWIW: I also did a search on soundclick for "Charlie Johnston",
and it returned a "no matches found" error. Go figure.

Soundclick ought to get their act together, in the area of browser
compatibility, among other things!


Did I mention: Interesting song? <g>

Was it worth the hassle to download?
Sure it was. I am intrigued by new material, especially of it's good.

...did I say it was worth a listen?

Sounds like maybe you're having some performance issues. If you searched
"band names" then Charlie Johnston would not be found since it is not a band
name. Is that what you did?

Then, it's a browser performance issue,
as opposed to system performance. :-)

I am using a home-built system, which includes:

ASUS A7V-600 mainboard
XP 3200+ CPU
512 MB Elixir 400 Mhx (PC-3200) RAM

multi-booting into:
Redhat Linux 7.3 (Valhalla)
Windows 2000 SP4
Windows 98
MS-DOS 6.22

I have done some poking around, and reached the conclusion that
soundclick.com is not 'Mozilla-friendly'. All Mozilla browsers, and the
newer Netscape browsers (6.xx, 7.xx), use the Gecko engine, which is
Mozilla-based.

Oddly, when M3u is associated with Winamp in Win2k, it won't play, even
when loaded via Internet Explorer.

But if I pasrte the URL into Media Player, under Windows, it works.
But it will not open directly from MSIE, due to the Winamp file association.
Winamp won't play these 'broken' M3u links from soundclick either!
HOWEVER, if Mozilla is open, and I paste the SAME URL into WMP from Mozilla
address bar, it crashes WMP. BUT, I CAN have the mozilla broeser open,
and running in the background, and still access the title via the M3u link in
MSIE, provided the page itself is not currently loaded into Mozilla.

Since I don't have MSIE in Linux, I'm stuck with Mozilla there, so I can't
test it any further.

I could horse around with some firewall and/or popup blocking settings,
but that won't help if the problem is in the M3u link itself - perhaps, string
too long, contains illegal characters, etc...

Too much monkey business.

Probably. But it was an artist search box. It wasn't labeled "band name",
per se.

I like the song. Sounds a little like Leonard Cohen, Canadian folk singer. With
a country twang.
