Is there a way to get Mixcloud to play?

Hello people. I am still using a MDD G4 for all my email — and why not! :-)
TenFourFox allows me to continue using this MDD G4 and do almost everything I need to do on the web - though Mailchimp is now unusable due to an "upgrade" made overnight.
I have a Mixcloud page which I access mainly using TenFourFox Box that allows me to do everything I want to do — except listen! I get this message:
"Sorry - your browser is not supported.
Please update your browser or install another such as Google Chrome.
Mixcloud requires HTML5 audio with MP3 and MP4 support"
HOWEVER, when I edit the track information on a mix that I've uploaded I CAN listen.
Which has me wondering if there is a simple hack that I can make to TenFourFox to trick the Mixcloud site?

I also would like to give a small donation as I rely on TenFourFox SO much. Is there a way for me to do this?

Thank you, Robert
PS I've just discovered that there is an update to TenFourFox so have downloaded that: I have been using 'Feature Parity Release 21'

   Thank you for this which I will try with Mailchimp.

   After I wrote the message below and updated to TenFourFox I got it figured
   because I read about the MP4 enabler.
   I downloaded this and hey presto, it works (though is highly demanding of
   the processor)

   Thanks again for a GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE for old Mac users.

   It's probably the AAC audio, which yes, the MP4 Enabler adds support for. Glad it's working for you.
