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.

Cheers,

Esther
