"Wtf?"

I have an .mp3 file (Blues Brother's Theme as it so happens), but according to WMP, it "cannot play the file, as the file type may not be supported" blahblah - you know the message.

It plays in Quicktime, but Quicktime sucks wang.

So what's going on?

Cheers.
It's just this one file too.

Bahlies, didn't work.
:'{

Aha, danke, I'll try that.

I got some other "ultimate codec pack" a few days ago, but wasn't sure if it was the one.
You know.

The one. I formatted my comp a week or so ago you see.

Get and install this codec pack.

But it plays in Quicktime, and the integrated Quicktime malarky in my browser when I open it with it.

Aha

Yes.

It's odd, because I have a bazillion mp3s and they all play perfectly, and this is an mp3...but muh.
Odd.

Does WMP usually play your MP3s?

Edit: My bad, just read the last line of your post

Erm - Have you tried re-downloading the file?

There is a possiblity it might be copyright protected.

I'm not sure however.

It was the only version available though.

Download a better one.

Problem solved.

Look - I don't want your gayassed recommendations of "what's best" in short-sentences in an effort to make it seem all dramatic.

I want help with this problem, and that's it.
I'm happy with WMP, and always have been.

So go away, Apple boy.
