Music is still not playing!
Music streams are not handled by Second Life's
servers. If the music stream fails to play, there is a problem between
your computer and the music stream's server.
The format of the music stream, bandwidth
constraints and location can prevent your computer from playing music.
It is even possible that other Residents can hear the music stream
while you can't!
Try another music stream
To change the music stream, a Resident needs to either own the land or be an Officer/Owner of group owned land.
- Be standing on the parcel of land
