I probably need to be more specific. LiveCode will play the remote mp3 
okay if it uses a "normal" URL -- that is, a standard URL like:

  http://www.domain.com/file.mp3

These URLs are on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and so they are coming from 
a distributed server system. I can't imagine why that would make any 
difference but it seems to. The URL is of the form:

  http://abcdefghijklmn01.cloudfront.net/file.mp3

It's the same file. The only difference is the distributed server URL. 
IE plays it, LiveCode won't.
