• How to open .zip files in windows media player? I get the msg file type not supported. MP3 files are in the folder.

  Hi I downloaded audio files that you want to create a playlist on windows media player to download to my mp3 player so I can be more mobile to study. When I tried to play on windows media player I get error msg-file type is not supported or the codec is not compatible with the player. They are .zip files. inside are the mp3 files that I need to listen to. can someone help me.

   

  Hello

  You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
  in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

  Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
  with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

• Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

  Hello

  I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

  I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

  I canoe play my music.

  The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

  But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

  Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

  This has never been a problem with older media players.

  I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

  I want the old player back.

  This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

  Thank you.
