I haven't seen the behavior you're describing. Could there be a checkbox, when you try to play an mp3, that asks you something like "always ask me about this type of file?". If so, maybe you can change it's default value so that it won't ask you about mp3 files any more? Windows media player 11 does not normally cause this, as I use it routinely to play mp3 files online. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alan Clendinen Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2008 4:04 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Strange behavior in Windows Media Player 11 Hello listers, After upgrading to Windows Media Player version 11, I am no longer able to play samples of MP3 files on amazon.com. When I click on a sample link, I now get a prompt to download the file. Windows Media Player 11 seems to be interfering with playing sample MP3 files on-line. I assume there must be some configuration setting in Windows Media Player which needs to be changed to fix this problem, but I'm using JFW 7.0, and it is not very accessible with Windows Media Player version 11. Can you folks please tell me how to fix this problem? Alan
