>You can purchase DRM-free songs by clicking "buy" on select players.

Can you expand on that a bit? What do you mean by 'players' - like, WinAmp / WMP / etc. or like other members of the site? I use Amazon's music store, so that's kind of interesting to me.

\*Edit: I intermittently get "t61.flashplayer.init is not a function" error. It prevents me from listening to music. Any idea on what to do with that?

"Player" is in reference to the individual song players on the page -- sorry for the confusion! Just click "buy" on the song you like, and you'll be able to buy it from Amazon MP3...aside from the mandatory client (although it has a purpose), I'm also a fan of the Amazon music store.

We'll look into the issue you reported (thanks). What browser/OS are you using?

FF 2.0.0.10 and IE 7 (fully patched) both gave the error on a fully patched WinXP SP2 system, so I'm guessing it's a flash problem. I'm not at work atm so I can't check the specifics on the flash being used there, but it's whatever's the latest because I had to download it to use your site. :)

I haven't run into the symptoms you described and we've been testing multiple, updated browsers (FF, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera) on XP/SP2 and Mac. We support Flash 8 and above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention -- I'll keep an eye out.

This issue should be fixed now (I was able to reproduce the bug after installing the debugging libraries that come with flex.)
