Are the built-in audio players in many of the HITs not working for others as well? It means having to accept the HIT and download the audio in order to determine if I want to transcribe it, wasting valuable time.
I noticed castingwords on occasional has some issues. Which browswer are you using? Also check your Flash options or if you have any issues with Adobe flash as that is what is using.. (and means you cant do any audio hits on the iPad)
I'm using Firefox. The reason I think it's not my end is that on some of the HITs the audio does play, while on others it doesn't.
A bit late to the party with my comment here, but intermittent problems with CW's player are still going on, as far as I noticed. I use Chrome or its Linux counterpart, because with either, if you just double click on the "Get Audio" button, instead of downloading the MP3, it'll launch Chrome/Chromium's own player. That'll stream it right in the browser, and it never fails to work, since it's just your browser interacting with the MP3, no CW programming in the mix anymore.
