I used this desktop URL in Fennec:
http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_dmusic8?ie=UTF8&node=163856011

The player shows up and seems to try to play.

I tried a couple here on the Galaxy Nexus and seemed to work.

Yes. I can confirm the individual albums and the "play best sellers" do play. I switched to Wifi, from 3G and they worked fine.

When I was on a weak 3G signal, they did not work. I walked around a bit to get a stronger signal and both played again.

I think it was a connection problem for me. Marking WFM.

Also note: I switched the Plugin setting from "Tap to Play" to "Enabled"

With the Plugin setting on "Tap to Play", we download an m3u file instead of playing. I also did not notice any Tap to Play doorhanger.

Indeed, if the Plugin setting is switched to "Enabled" everything works as expected.
