Hi, Mike.

One of the most intriguing sites to me with regards to the Flash player is 
that of the Public Radio Music Source (http://www.prms.org) where one can 
purchase music and videos with the proceeds going to your local public radio 
affiliate.

In accordance with the copyright laws, in many cases, 30 seconds of a music 
track is played so you can hear it and decide if you want to buy it.  
Normally, this is played in the flash player with no buttons marked (you 
can't even tell which track you're on).  However, if you turn the Macromedia 
Flash player completely off, all of the track snipets (including titles) 
become available as Windows Media files, and one has absolutely no problems 
playing those, whatsoever.

I really wish other sites would do the same thing.
