DAT isn't a media file type. It's a generic catch all file type that is
used for various junk. If this *is* a media file, it's likely either MPEG1
or MPEG2. What's the error you encounter in what version of WMP? Where did
this file come from? If it's MPEG2, you'd need an MPEG2 decoder...

See http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
