Some songs play on some players, not on others

#1 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2005

All the music files i have downloaded from Limewire work with the limewire player. When I try to play some of the files with Windows Media player, some files say

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

And then when I try to play the exact same file on other programs such as MusicMatch, it plays perfectly. Anyone know whats up? And how to fix it?

Ok. Now I discovered this too. I can't play some files on windows media, but they play just fine on limewire and it some times drives me crazy... But their all the same type of files and WM say's that they should play. Any ideas why or why not? I haven't played with trying to copy them to a disk to see if they'll play off WM yet though either..
