Not working?
- Make sure your browser is up-to-date. Check and update it in your browser’s Help section.
- Try opening the web player in a private/incognito window.

If it's still not working, try listening on the desktop app instead.

- In your browser address bar, enter chrome://settings/content
- Under Protected content, switch on Allow site to play protected content.
Click Enable DRM in the yellow warning bar at the top of the screen.
If you don’t see the yellow bar:
