A few listeners using the most recent versions of Flash 9 on Firefox on Windows have reported problems playing audio on the blog as well getting youtube to play more than 2 seconds of any given video (a problem quite a few other people seem to be having). We are looking into the problem.
In the meantime we recommend:
1) Downgrading to Flash Version 9,0,47 available here: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/DG/flashplayer9r47_win.exe
2) Clearing out your cache.
This seems to solve the problem for most people. Give it a try.
i am absolutely shocked that no one submitted a snarky "get a mac" comment. but seriously, a mac would solve the problem. just sayin'...

Since when is spending $2500 on a Mac when the comparable PC costs $800 considered a solution to a software glitch? Just sayin'.

BTW, the issue is not OS platform specific.
If you read the results in the google "quite a few other people " link you will see that there are Linux and OS-X users with the same issue.

You know what I think the funniest thing about all of this is? Now that Mac switched to Intel, any schmendrick can buy a PC and run OSX. So now there is simply NO advantage to spending all that extra money.
Hell, there are a TON of chips that outperform Intel. I'd rather have a Toshiba with dual boot capabilities than a Mac that runs *some* Windows software inside an emulator.
