I'm new to NewGrounds, and I just uploaded and published my first song. The song played just fine at first on the NewGrounds webpage, but now whenever I go to the webpage with the song, it will not play anymore. I uploaded it about a half hour ago in MP3 format. I made it with GarageBand and it was encoded at 192 kbps and was 3.2 MB file size. The link to the song is:

Anyone have any ideas why it won't play anymore? Thanks.

It does work. If you upload JUST now, as in just, just now, then of course it wont work. Things take time to upload. But its already there.

Hmm, it still will not work for me. I wonder if it is because I have a Mac, although I don't see why that would prevent it from playing. It did work fine for me the first time I played it after uploading it, but after that it wouldn't. I'll see if it works on my PC laptop.

OK, it works fine on my PC, but it won't work on my Mac. Maybe I don't have the right kind of audio player on my Mac...

It should work fine as long as you have the Flash plugin installed, and even without (depending on the browser) you'll get an alternative player. Maybe try using a different browser? It's a good track btw.

Thanks! I have the Flash plugin installed (I just downloaded it to make sure), and it still doesn't work with my Safari web browser. So I tried using Google Chrome browser instead, like you recommended, and the song works fine then! For some reason Safari won't play the song for me. That's weird though, because it plays other people's songs and movies just fine. I guess I'll just stick to Google Chrome. Thanks again!

Yeah, that is weird. Good thing it works with another browser though! I'm wondering if Apple have some problem with flash since it's not supported by their iOS...
