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.
