Amazon Music Sampler Tips
Having trouble using the Amazon Music Sampler? Here are some suggestions to help you out:
- Update you web browser and plug-ins: Please make sure that your system meets the Amazon Music Sampler Technical Requirements listed above.
- Try visiting during off-peak hours: You might have more success playing samples at a different time, especially if you are attempting to play them between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. Pacific Time. These are generally the peak hours of Internet usage, and high network traffic may be the cause of the problem. Heavy network traffic can also affect the sound quality of the samples.
- Check your proxy server and firewall settings: If you're accessing the Internet through a proxy server or from behind a firewall, commonly found in a corporate or academic setting, you may persistently experience difficulty playing samples. We recommend contacting your system administrator for more information or visiting Amazon.com from a different computer network.
Note: Any reproduction, publication, further distribution, or public exhibition of song samples provided on this site, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.
