Question MP3 Won't play?

Hi an MP3 I uploaded from previous PC won't play ? Pop up says ' An audio codec is needed to play this file - to determine if this available download from the web' Seems to be just the one track?

Using Windows Media Player 11 which is updated.

Just checking this isn't a scam & safe to click on web link?

Appreciate any help


Thx

Default Re: MP3 Won't play?

Could be the file got corrupted in the upload process, but try running it through GSpot: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

It'll tell you what codec it needs and whether you have it installed.
