I'll try the mp3fix thing...my ability to stream anything from mp3.com, even at Lo-Fi, is extremely flaky. For some reason it's often the case that I can play the "artist radio" on an mp3.com artist page, but clicking on play for a particular song usually takes me straight to the mp3.com "help" page--which is no help at all, tells me my computer isn't properly equipped to play mp3's (wrong) and to download MusicMatch (which I don't want).

Thanks for the hint.
