Can't download the audio file because I'm on dial-up and it would take
5 hours. Listening via stream I see all the fields and bar you mention
and understand exactly what you are talking about. However the blue
bar won't advance forward at all no matter how many attempts I make.

I have no problems doing this on other sites when listening to audio
files but can't do it on yours and I've tried using three different
browsers.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply to my inquiry.
