*** Hi Tarun thanks for the super instructions! I got to the last and
that failed. It appears the Ubuntu name has changed. I used
"adobe-flashplugin" and it complained "no such thing" but said it was
close to something they have.
All the sudo rm appeared to work. When I went back to the web page it
didn't show the thing to click on but allowed me to d/l the whole mp3
file Which I did and watched it on my Good VLC vieo player
:-)
I guess a new name for the adobe-flashplugin is reuired.

Hi Karl,
Not an expert but when doing a fresh install of 64bit lucid for my
friend the other day, we had to install flash from the software centre
(not adobe but swf flash plugin I think)
you may want to try reinstalling or changing your flash plugin
good luck
Pete
