I have no music to listen too @ Amazon

Eric Richards · 12-30-2006, 06:38 AM

Sometimes at amazon.uk I go to listen to music samples from a music CD I might like to buy, but all I get is a idiot file "hurl.exe" all 62 bytes of it.

Is this a cheap way of telling me to get "$£€$£€" or what?, could someone out there tell me more please that would satisfy my craving for a sample music

itunes has free 30second samples.

you're most likely using a popup blocker, firewall, linksplitter, or other browser plug-in that they don't like, and they think you're trying to leech

you most likely need to open with windows media player, rather than trying to save

hurl.exe is linked with Realplayer. Associate the file with another Media Player.

ho ho ho that does not work either
you can buy and listen, but knowing my luck, I buy then it still does not work, I would prefer to listen to 15 seconds then buy the CD

But once amazon used to work were you get about 15 seconds of tune.

i just checked the amazon page

the music plays in a pop-up

turn off your pop-up blockers, and then try it

i gaurantee it thinks you're trying to leech somehow
