Soundcloud.com some tracks not playing

Hello!

Some tracks won't play in Pale Moon, but in MS Edge (both Linux).

I don't see console errors.

Can others confirm this?

kind regards
Marco

Thanks for providing the clickable link. I played ten tracks of "music" from various music artists. No problems at all.

At this time I am using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 33.6.0.1 (GTK2) running in 64 bit linux Mint 22.1 (Xia) Xfce. I also had uBlock Origin 1.16.6b1 enabled for the site.
Linux Mint 22.1 (Xia) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox
MX Linux 23.6 (Libretto) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox
Linux Debian 12.10 (Bookworm) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox

Were you able to play the track I mentioned?
The play button greys out and then the next track is being played.

On the right side appears a banner "There was a problem playing this track.".

Works here too, using 64-bit Pale Moon 33.6.0.1 on Windows 10. With a hardened profile (using uBO, eMatrix (allowing sndcdn), deCDN, Pure URL, and About:config changes).

If you mean did I listen to the Paralizer - Move Your Body? Yes I did. All 5:36 of time. From start to the..................."bitter end". :shock: Never saw any banner anywhere.

You and I have very, VERY "different" tastes in "music". ;)
BTW, see if you can play one of my favorite artists which has some instrumental music on Soundcloud without any problems.

The Intangible - "Questions In The Wind".

After seeing the others Off-Topic comments, I'll back you up on your music taste. I love EDM. Trance, NightCore, Instrumental Hardbass. It's all good. Then again, I like most everything except pop ballads, rap, and such. I need a beat, rythm, melody.

Hard agree. I think that when a style of music is rubbished and dismissed it tends to reflect a lack of understanding about the music's history and culture. Of course, everyone is free to dislike particular types of music, but that opinion doesn't make it noise, or whatever.

I can listen to https://soundcloud.com/mdandalive/paralizer-move-your-body with Pale Moon 33.6.0.1 on Windows with uBlock Origin installed and set with default options. No other privacy or "tricky" add-ons installed.
Laptop 1: Windows 11 64-bit, i7 @ 2.80GHz, 16GB, NVIDIA GeForce MX450.
Laptop 2: Windows 10 32-bit, Atom Z3735F @ 1.33GHz, 2GB, Intel HD Graphics.
Laptop 3: Linux Mint 20.3 64-bit, i5 @ 2.5GHz, 8GB, Intel HD Graphics 620.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love trance/goa/acid/etc. EDM (you should see my CD collection...), just not this more minimalistic high-BPM distorted "gabber" style.

Really strange, it works on a Slackware virtual machine with the same AVX2 build I use on my main Debian machine.

I will try to track that down further, but I assume it is not a PM issue. :D
