Hello all,

I cant listen to downloaded mp3 files. When i play them i only once hear some scratching sound.
I use WMP that works fine at other things.
Do you know what the problem may be?

where do you download them from, i tunes?

Where are you downloading them from?

[Sandra]

From a language learning forum site where native speakers can upload samples, e.g. an Englishman pronouncing Middelsborough, Gloucester, or anything...

Thnx Mr

Well, unfortunately i couldnt find the dowload button on your link lol...
Whizkid that i am though i just went to another site and downloaded it from there...

It still doesnt work so i deinstalled it, so i wonder if that could be a settings problem (left everything default) ...

And yes another thing i was asked to close WE and i didnt, i forgot that could this be a problem too?

Which version of wmp are you using?
If your using wmp11 open it up and click on library tab of WM player11 click on the more options tab. and it will bring up a new window with more tabs. On that page is File Types.click on this to check to see if mp3 is ticked.

have you tried renaming the and of the file from.mp3 to something else?
