I had this problem and it drove men nuts.. The solution was: When the file is downloaded into the designated folder, (the document will probably look like a blank sheet of paper).. just highlight the name of the file and re-name it with a SHORTER name and add .MP3 to the end. That's It..

The file name is too long and you have to rename it and add .mp3 to the end. Do this and click off the file and the icon will turn into an mp3 icon such as real player... It works every time.

Can't tell you how many downloads I trashed before figuring this one out. This is the only way they will play... shorten the name and add .mp3 to the end. Click off and you will see the icon change to an mp3 icon. Double click it and your default player will start.
