Details

The URL does not support the Chimera browser. You can get to this link from windowsmedia.com. I assume you can get to it from msn.com as well. The error message is: "We're sorry, but MSN Music currently requires a PC system running Internet Explorer 5.0 to browse our site and a PC system running Windows Media Player 7.0 or higher to listen to music." Hopefully a user agent string change would fix this.
Mac IE does't load the page either, I think they're sniffing the OS type, so it is an evangelism effort
Summary: Chimera browser not supported on music.msn.com → Chimera browser not supported on music.msn.com
It doesn't work in Mozilla, either. -->TE
