Need help playing Internet Radio


YouTube operates well and will play music with my copy of Firefox and Ubuntu. However when I go to the www.cbcmusic.ca sight it will not play the music. Seems as if the sight is blocked.

If you like an eclectic mix of music, I suggest "Radio Paradise". It works fine with Audacious and probably other Linux music players. Audacious includes listings for a metric ton of international music sites. Definitely worth spending a little time perusing what's out there.

I played several songs from that site with no problems. In firefox, have you gone to Edit, Preferences and clicked the check box next to "Play DRM-Controlled-Content? Not sure that is the problem but songs play for me with firefox 65,
