To test : Is the problem reproducible with the live radio streams onwww.somafm.com-anything labelled as "Windows Media WMA" ?

If after clicking on clips for Windows Media WMA, andWMP11hangs or
doesn't play, what's next in troubleshooting? In my case,WMP11
(Vista) hanged clicking on that clip. My WMP issue is that streaming
radio doesn't play for one profile, but works on another profile on
the same PC; I'm trying to stream Sirius; it had worked on the problem
profile before, not sure what happened to change things.

It will say Connecting to Media, and name the themusicthats trying to

The slider moves to the right about an inch, then goes back to start. From
then on nothing happens. Clicking on the arrow does not start anything.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

I have had this problem for the last few days.. I could not play
Kellie Peckler on Amazon. However, I could play Justine Timberlake!
I have WMP 11 installed. I finally down-loaded all codecs for
Windows
Media Player from K-LITECODEC.COM. You can find also find the K-LITE
Codecs install from other sites by doing a Google Search for K-lite.
I downloaded the Full Codec version 2.85 from this site.


http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm


I did not modify any settings. This program detected a previous
install of AC3Filter, which it suggested I uninstall to avoid
conflicts (which I did). After installing K-Lite, WMP11 can now
play
all music samples on amazon!
