Jamendo works in Firefox but not in Chromium

When I try to play a track on Jamendo.com, it does not work in chromium. In Firefox it does. The player seems not to use flash, but I'm not sure (I have no Web-dev experience). Anyway, Flash is installed and works in Firefox and Chromium. I even reinstalled (purged and installed) Flash to be sure.

What exactly happens: I click on the play button beside a track or in the player. The play icon changes to a pause button for not even a second, then changes back to a play button. Nothing happens, no sound or something. I have this problem since autumn or so. I think I had it on another website once, but I don't remember it.

At first I thought it's something with HTML5, because the front end of the web player seems not to be flash. But the soundcloud web player also has a non flash front end, but it works for me. So I have this problem currently only on Jamendo using chromium.

OS: Ubuntu 12.10

Chromium-Version: 23.0.1271.97 (Entwickler-Build 23.0.1271.97-0ubuntu0.12.10.1)

Blockers: Ad Block Plus (diabling it does not help)

I tried disabling all plugins but it did not help. I noticed something though:
I am accepting all cookies and data, but when I'm on Jamendo or askubuntu or Youtube, there shows a cookie icon in the address bar that indicates that the Website is allowed to set cookies (according to my settings everyone is), but it was unable to set some of them.
Cookie settings (german, sorry).
Strange cookie indicator.

I'm not sure whether this has to say something though, since youtube and askubuntu and soundcloud work fine.

Can you tell me why it does not work, how I can fix it? And whats the technical difference to soundcloud causing it to work? Thanks.

I solved the problem by reinstalling the chromium-browser:

sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

I don't know why, but I did not lose any of my settings. I also did not have to log-in to the google-sync to get my bookmarks and stuff back, which is not supposed to be the case with apt-get purge as far as I know.

Also, the "problem" with the cookie-icon is still there. I think it's a bug or something.

At least, I still have no idea what caused the problem. All my plugins and extensions are active again, Jamendo still works.
