The problem is probably the wma's. See:
What you should know about WMA Files. I would stick to mp3 files. I filter out wma's from my search results. You can do that in the limewire options.
I wouldn't trust any file that tried to connect to the internet so it could be played. I caught a bug that way once and had quite a time getting rid of it, though that was with a video file.
For info on codecs see:
CODECs list and alternate players for Movies. I hear that
K-Litecode Codec Pack is supposed to be a good one for WMP.
WMP and Musicmatch are very similar. You might want to try a different player. I've been using
Winamp for audio files. There are some others listed in the link above
. See
How to set default media player.
Quote:
does anyone know of a codec program that Windows media player supports, so I can "unzip" the files?

I don't think WMP can unzip files, besides audio files aren't usually zipped. Most zip files on LW contain viruses. I would be very cautious about opening them. See:
WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!
Hope this helps
