I downloaded this after everyone's recommendations but when the songs have finished downloading they play which is fine, but when I go into "My music" and click on what I want to hear and choose that i want to play it through Windows Media Player it says that it doesn't support the file type or something :roll: and won't do it. Is there another way??? I think I am probably just being crap and useless. These things take a bit of explaining to me I'm afraid :oops: :wink:

I never had any problems, it is possible you have to download a plugin to play the files, but I doubt it.
what kind of files are they?
mp3- wmp - ...?

As far as I am aware they are mp3 files
I am fairly sure that Windows Media Player does play mp3's tho

it's probably a different format, not MP3, try playing them in winamp and see if you have more luck.

Otherwise download 'em from another source. You are, after all, just pulling files off someone else's PC.
