I'm having no luck listening to Cingular ringtone samples at this
website:

http://www-xl.cingularextras.com/fuel/enduser/portal/endUserHTMLDir?c1=1&dc=0

The samples are activated by java - a click on the sound icon opens
what appears to be WMP in a popup window. I then get the message
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct
and try again." I have WMP 9.

Using OS 10.3, I've tried this in three browsers: Safari, Firefox and
MS IE; the same result in all.

I gave it a try. They used Active-X controls in the source code of their
pages and this is not Mac-compatible :-(

If you have the patience, you can look for a link in the source of the
little pop-up windows that show up, then download the corresponding
page. In OmniWeb, the page downloaded as "content". I just renamed it to
"content.wma" and I was then able to play it. Not extremely
user-friendly :-\
