Hi Will, Most of the links on the UK Audible site seem to work. If you're browsing the BBC Audiozone, none of the summary page links appear to work, but if you select the link for an individual book the "Click to play sample" on that page works correctly. Note that both the summary page for the BBC Audiozone and the individual book pages there have a "return to Audible" link, so I suspect that Audible's design is not the problem. If the site is busy, you might want to try reloading a page (with Command-R), and then checking the links.
Incidentally, the Audible.com U.S. site uses flash to play the samples. The workaround for the U.S. site that was posted on the lioncourt.com site last year has to be modified with Audible's recent web page redesign; the "Listen" text item has been replaced with "Sample", and you have to do a mouse keys search by moving to the right of "Sample" (instead of searching to the left of "Listen"). The link address that Josh originally posted to the list doesn't work now. Actually, I can't get to the database for the lioncourt.com page at all at this time. I think the link should now be: http://www.lioncourt.com/2008/07/19/play-samples-on-audiblecom-with-voiceover/ If that does not work, look for Mac-cessibility tip #20.
