If this question has been asked and answered I could not find it...
Two (2) concerns...
1) Jcow 3.3 installed music module enabled... I can upload an mp3 I can see it and the counter changes every time I click on it ("8 Listens") but I am not getting any audio
Any ideas would be most helpful...

2) can anyone tell me which "php" page controls the "Tab" names e.g. "Home" "Forums" "Directory" in addition in "My Account" I'd like to changes the word "Avatar" to "Profile Photo"
Believe it or not most of the users on our class site don't know what an "Avatar" is LOL... They think they are about to watch a James Cameron movie for crying out loud...
Thx

1)
Is your "uploads" folder writable?
2)
You can use the "translate" tool in the admin CP.

Thx for getting back to me...
as for 1) uploads folder is writable.

as for 2) the only item in "Translate" is "Add a language:"

first you have to add a language, then you can start translating.

Falcone,
Duh... Many thanks... it was driving me crazy...

I'm getting there (learning new software takes time) I am really not trying to be a pain in anyones... you know what I'm saying...

question... would you have a clue why I am unable to play MP3's... could it have something to do with "music_Player.swf"? as noted I can upload MP3s files, I can click on them and the counter records "Listens" But I can't hear them...
Again thanx for getting back to me
Sheldon

i made a test, and here it is working fine. I'm not sure this works on every server.

I'd like to see if I can get it to work... I am running a Fedora Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Unix)
What are you running?

your host needs to have the audio and video streaming feature (i think)

Good to know... I think my problem is Apache native can not play MP3s... I think I remember reading that from years ago... I think it involved a license issue...

I am now having second thoughts about it anyway... don't know I want a bunch on MP3 files on my server...
