YMMV

I have consistanly had problems with try to play members songs or posting from Reverb Nation.

Google Chromes Flash Player does it own updates and controls itself.

My fix was 

Google Chrome 
in the search bar type     chrome:plugins
when it displays all the plugins, make sure there are NO updates written in red.  If so update

Even though everything was clean and up to date, Google and IE would take forever to load songs on RN

I downloaded Real Player, rebooted my computer and retryed

BINGO-Instant load and Playing on RN

This has gone on for a few years for me and figured Id share just in case others experience this problem.

RN has forwarded all the info to the bakers to see why what they recommend and what it took me to fix this is so different.  There are loads of posts on their forum with this issue.
