The music pages have been tested with both Netscape and Explorer browsers and are in proper working order. In addition, I use a standard embedding format that should work effectively with both Netscape and Microsoft Explorer browsers and generic plug-ins. Therefore, if you cannot hear the music playing in the background of the lyrics pages, the problem may be at your desktop.

Adequate Memory: If you can usually hear the music playing in the background, but for some reason it has stopped working, then perhaps you have exhausted the memory required -- try rebooting (re-starting) your computer to correct that problem.

Appropriate Plug-ins: I use standard MIDI files (.mid) for background music, unless otherwise specified. Before selecting a song, be sure your browser is equipped with the proper "plug-in's" in order to enjoy them all. The music on my site should also play with the standard midi plug-ins that are typically downloaded as part of your browswer package. But if you are unsure whether or not you have an appropriate plugin, you can always reload or upgrade your browser software (such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer), and then reboot your computer and try the music pages again.

Even if you have installed the proper plugin in the past, it is possible that some other software program may have inadvertently been added to your system that is now causing a conflict with the original plugin. If that is the problem, it can usually be resolved by reloading your browser software.

If you can hear the music, but cannot see the "radio" player to turn it off or adjust the volume, this may be because your system's memory or browser cache has reached its capacity. Try rebooting and then going directly to the music site to see if that corrects the problem.

If you have tried all of the above suggestions and still can't hear the music, you need to check out your system for other possible problems.
