Try playing it with VLC player. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/tips-t...p3-fixers.html about half way down first post has a link to VLC player.

However, I would beware of 'any' file that asks you to go to such & such site or download a particular codec or plug-in from their site as some are in reality either viruses or spyware or worse! ;)

Rizwanshfiq,

The problem here is not CODECs (though you probably needed to update them anyway). There are a number of bogus files, usually with popular titles, that attempt to get users to download a special player that will probably take over your computer.

To avoid this and other problems, such as mis-named files or poor copies, you should use the Bitzi link before downloading. More info here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...owse-chat.html Bitzi will save you many hours.
