Try opening WMP,tools,options,file types tab,select all box,apply.Otherwise,
download windows media encoder 9 series,in the encoder,select "convert
audio/video" locate the file,convert.Once thru,playback in WMP.

thank you so much for replying but this did not fix the problem. i looked
into the folder view and file associates and noticed that no audio files
were listed so i entered a new file mp3 and tried to save this file
extension no luck as soon as i close and reopen this folder it just
dissapears and also i noticed when i click on advanced tab it will not work
the other file extensions do operate ok it is just audio extentions mp3 cda
wma so on. thanks again for any help.

i also noticed in winamp that those file extensions were not being able to
be checked off not sure if some program is trying to remove these
extensions.
