===Music controller===
 
Locate the music controller at the bottom of the screen. If your '''Audio &amp; Video''' preferences been set correctly and the buttons on the music controller are still dark, it means that no music stream is currently available for this parcel of land.
 
#  Locate the music controller
#  Click the '''Play''' button
#  Change the music's volume by clicking the "up" arrow next to the master volume slider to reveal the volume control panel. Change the '''Music''' volume slider to change ''only''the volume of streaming audio.

===Music is still not playing!===
 
Music streams do not pass through Second Life's servers. If a music stream fails to play, there may be a connection problem between your computer and the music stream's server.
 
The format of the music stream, bandwidth constraints and location can also prevent your computer from playing music. Because of this, it is possible that other Residents can hear a music stream while you can't!
 
===Try another music stream===
 
To change the music stream, you need to either own the land or have appropriate [[Group Roles|group abilities]] on group-owned land.
 
#  Stand on the parcel of land
#  Go to '''World''' &gt; '''About Land...'''
#  Click the '''Media''' tab
#  Enter a new '''Music URL'''
#  Press '''Enter'''
