Music Players & Troubleshooting

every time i add a song it says my current skin does not support video. What does mean?

Video content from YouTube is required to show the video during playback. If you would like to use content from a YouTube video you must select a appropriate video enabled skin.

My player/ widget isn't showing up?

You may not have the latest version of Flash player. Download it here for free.

2. Your player is inside a div. For instance when you've made an overlay profile for yourself. Easy fix. Look in the player code in your profile. Removewmode="transparent" and replace it with bgcolor="000000". You can use any hex color. Click here for a color chart.

3. You must be a Mac user! We are all Mac users too and it is a known Firefox bug. Basically, if you have a see-through layout using the CSS opacity, the Flash element on top of it disappears.
Fixing this bug actually causes another bug for Internet Explorer 6 (using png doesn't work on IE6) so we will implement the fix once we get the majority of our users switch to IE7. In the meantime, Mac Firefox users, make an opaque layout.
