- Some hosting companies (GoDaddy for example, (where demo is hosted) do not support ogg codec, therefore you cannot play HTML5 player in Opera and Firefox. If you want to test HTML5 player, please view template in Chrome, Safari, IE9. If your hosting company does support this codec, there is no any obstacle to play sample track in FF and Opera because ogg file included. Alternatively, Flash player is included.
- Do not expect IE to work as well as Safari and Chrome do
