My web page has embedded WMA files because embedded MP3s wouldn't play in Firefox back in version 3.X but WMAs would.

Well Firefox has moved on in versions, as has WMP, WinOS to 7. Many new configurations out there but my web page is still the same with the embedded WMAs.

Does my web page still playback for everyone??? Would anyone of you with any of the newer configurations be good enough to try and play any of my songs from the drop down Nav bar and see if their native player responds to my current html code.

Your help will let me know if I may have to rewrite the code to make the embedded music files
accessible.

Thanks for your help - I'll be watching and waiting.

Hi Ian. I'm running Firefox 12.0 and your songs show and play just fine.

Agreed, the page and lyrics loads in Chrome, but I see an incomplete message about Windows Media and there is no player.

Matt/Eddie - is this my problem or Chrome's problem?

Guess I'd better do some research. Any ideas?

To complete the Trifecta, Internet Explorer 8 prompts for a plugin of Windows Media Player. When I click OK, your song loads and plays.

Really, fault is not the word. They don't all interpret HTML, ASP and CSS coding the same way. I remember back when I did this MAJOR web page in MSIE. Sent it to the client, who used Netscape, and all the frames were gone.

Hello Ian, running Firefox 12 on a Windows 7 64bit system, seems I must have all the right player plug ins as it works just fine for me here in the UK. Like your music too. Will now see if Opera will run with it and come back to let you know.
Edit to add, yes Opera works too. I won't bother opening Internet exploder, I do dislike it too much.

Ian - It appears that your site is using an unusual java applet which Chrome blocks as a security risk.

Ian,

Listening as I type . . . and I like what I hear.

Did you ever post this one on the music original forum? If you did so sorry I missed it as it really has a easy groovy feel good vibe.

Take Care,

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
