First off, every computer has a different configuration, kind of like a snowflake.  No two are alike.  For starters I would make sure my computer was up to date.  Make sure flash is updated, the Windows Media Player is updated and also your computer has all the latest updates.  Next reboot your computer.  If this doesn't work, you can e-mail support at inbox@977music.com.  You must provide the following details:

1.  Operating System (what flavor and what service packs are installled)?
2.  What version of Flash are you using?
3.  What version of Windows Media Player?
4.  Did it work fine before and just quit?
5.  Have you recently installled any new software on the computer?

Send this information and any other pertinent information to inbox@977music.com

My points are not accumulating, how come?

Please read the points FAQ which can be found HERE

How does your website work? How can I find friends?

Make sure you first sign up for an account.  Once you have an account, you can now earn points, chat on the message boards, post a blog, create your own playlist and everything else the website offers.

The best way to find friends is to click the "browse" tab at the top.  That is the list of every member in our community.  You are able to see them but not communicate with them yet. 

Once you find someone interesting, click the "add friends" button and wait for them to approve you.  Once appproved, you'll be able to leave comments on their profile and communicate through their personal 977music e-mail.  You can also find friends that have the same interest in music as you by browsing the Top Artists page and adding friends from those pages.

Other ways to make friends is by blogging and writing compelling articles.  Other people read the blogs and may request you as a friend and vice versa.  You can also use the chat room to find friends.

The Flash Player doesn't play any music it just sits there and says "buffering".

More than likely you are behind a corporate firewall that blocks rtmp streaming over port 80.  You'll need to convince that great IT department of yours to unblock rtmp streaming over port 80 on their firewall.  Bring them donuts, that always works :)

I'm listening with the Windows Media Player but I'm not Earning Points

To earn points, you have to be able to see the artist and title and lyrics, etc in the player window.

If you don't see that, you need to enable external content within your player.

Go to -->Tools --> Options --> Privacy and make sure the Display media Information From the Internet is checked.
