If the files are MP3, your iTunes app should play them. If they are a Windows format, iTunes won't necessarily. What is the link to the site? I can have a look.

Bob,
You won't be able to listen to them on a Mac unless you know how to search the source code and find the mp3 files.

This is because the site was created using Microsoft's propritary Frontpage program.

There is a fix, and people here have offered to do it free.

See the discussion at http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum12/HTML/001748.html

Yep! You're almost there.

Add it to the site name in your browsers address window, like this: http://www.jerrybyrdfanclub.com/music\Limehouse Blues.mp3

It should open and play.

Note: It doesn't work if you click on the above link because of the space between Limehouse and Blues.

The Safari Browser automatically changes that space to a %20

Like this:
http://www.jerrybyrdfanclub.com/music\Limehouse%20Blues.mp3

This link should play.

Here is what the file look'd like ! and Ray's music is right on top - So i would think - that the next one will be in the same spot - Its close to the end of the file - all I did was - Control -Click - on the area where the tune is - and scrol down -

Edited to remove Embeded Sound File<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Joey Ace on 08 June 2004 at 06:57 AM.]</p></FONT>

Bob,
Your "list" made an embeded sound file.
They are not allowed on the Forum because they mess up the formatting. So I removed it from your above post.

If you just post the links that's OK.
