MP3 won't play

[ZULU]

Hi Mike
Renaming it to .aac made no difference...Winamp still refuses it
Podcast  works fine,I can't save it (No Save Target option) but what the
heck, I can listen in real time OK
I've saved a shortcut to the page for future use.

TYVM indeed!

rider... I just associatrd .aac files with *Quicktime*
This works a treat so I guess *Winamp* is missing a codec.
