Amazon gave you the wrong info. When I click on 'Music Sampler' on a
page where an album/CD is described I get this error message: "You do
not seem to have the RealPlayer plug-in installed, which is required to
listen to these album samples. See our Help Department for more
information."

I expect this because I do not have (or want) RealPlayer installed on my
system.

What happens when you click the 'Windows Media' sampler option?

Thanks, but does me no good I'm not setup for that.
IrfanView is my wma player, and VLC won't play the links.

In your other post you said "I expect this because I do not have (or
want) RealPlayer installed on my system. "

Then here you want to know what version of realplayer you need to listen
to samples, make up your mind...

REAL ALTERNAIVE is NOT Realplayer and YET....... YES YET... it will play
ALL Realplayer links, it's the most up to date player for .rm files

It works fine. I do have RealPlayer and all its plugins in the
FireFox plugin directory but I still get the same message as you do.
Now does anybody with Firefox 2, have the Music Sampler working?

Real Alternative installed:

FireFox:
"You do not seem to have the RealPlayer plug-in installed, which is
required to listen to these album samples. See our Help Department for
more information."

Opera only has the WindowMediaPlayer option.

I made up my mind a long time ago when I ditched RealPlayer and
installed RealAlternative. But, using the Firefox browser, my
up-to-date version of RealAlternative will not play those samples. If I
visit amazon.com with Mozilla the RealPlayer samples don't even show up.

Perhaps I need to tweak something. I'm assuming of course that you are
able to play those files with RealAlt?
