Same - I too couldnt open a song with JWPlayer - thought it was just my end.
Ok - problem seems to be getting sorted judging by the reply.

Dig music - you play some great stuff!!! Its on ALL the time, rarely have MusicMax, Channel , Vh1 etc on anymore. Foxtel play the same same same junior pop and crap - over and over and over again........!

Hi Louisa,

Thanks for your message.

Are you following @abcdigmusic or @abcdigmusicnow on Twitter? The @abcdigmusicnow is a BETA service specifically offering our 'Now Playing' info. The @abcdigmusic account will keep you up to date with some of our music news, special features and competition details - but won't fill up your inbox as quickly!

We've tested the Chaka Khan video and it doesn't seem to be working for us either. Non-ABC video clips are sourced from Youtube, so there may be some issues with it that are out of our hands. Our tech bods will look into removing it from our site.

We hope you continue to enjoy ABC Dig Music.

Dear ABC Dig Music - just started following you on Twitter and wanted to say thanks for the great tracks. However am having tech issues - when tried to play the Chaka Khan song the JWPlayer on your site won't play - do I need to install something for it to work? Also, I want to keep following you on Twitter but your tweets are filling up my 'inbox' - do you have an "ABC Dig music -Lite" with less frequent tweets? Thanks - Louisa.
