   Under Firefox, everything works great. In IE7/8, Chrome and Safari, all I get is Connecting...(no tags or custom title info), without the ability to select locations within the audio file. Any idea why this would be?

   I need to see an example page where this is happening. Can you post a link?

   I think the problem is that your webserver is compressing mp3 files. If you have control over the server and know what I'm talking about, you need to disable gzip compression for mp3 files.

   I think something like this in your .htaccess file should do it:

   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp3$ no-gzip dont-vary

   Thanks Martin!

   Good catch--it was compressing all content.

   That did it, although I do notice that if my mp3 is larger than 4MB, I get the same "Connecting..." problem. Is that a known issue? That one is pretty easy to work around, though.

   Thanks again!

   Awesome, I had the same problem ... this helped a lot. However, when having multiple files in a player, the first one still has the connecting issue, all subsequent files work great. check it out here if you like:

   Any help will be greatly appreciated!

   @yeah:

   I checked your site and the first file works fine for me. Maybe this is a browser cache problem. Try clearing all your temporary internet files.
