I've been to several places that are supposed to be playing music in the background, but all I hear are ambient sound effects (water, birds, etc).

Is there a particular setting I am supposed to enable to allow for streaming music? The volume is turned all the way up and I pressed the Play button at the bottom of the window but nothing happens.

Yes, you have to enable streaming media in the Media (?) tab of your preferences/options. There is also an option to automatically always stream, which can eat bandwidth. Jackie

Sometimes the music stream may be down, or there may be a connection problem. The stream that I use changes their URL several times a year and it sometimes takes me a day or so to notice and go looking for the new URL.
