is there a simple guide on how to use Windows Media Player to play MP3 files on a Web site
I'm designing a simple website to a friend. They are singers and want 3 or 4 songs sample of people to listen to on the site.
What is the easiest way to do this (I m not technical, it should be easy to understand)
Idea is that the user accesses the page and chooss a song they click and hear 30-45 seconds of a recorded sample (MP3 file)
Strive to do that. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find a simple way to do it.
Can it be done using Windows media player (records are MP3 files in the Player Windows Media.
Help appreciated

If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site. If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?
You can get on a conversion of 70% in reading a file in Windows Media Player using something like Dragon Naturally Speaking to convert. If you set the playback speed to slow in Windows Media Player to play > play speed, you will get a better result. The best option is to download the file to an audio transcription service, but which generally costs 0, 50-1, 00 per minute of audio.

Question for Microsoft Support;
I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Signed;
Tim M. from Detroit.According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.
If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.
(In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)
Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.
If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.
If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda. Seemed

Hello
- What version of Windows are you using?
1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.
2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/3169923. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.
Method 1:
Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.
Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questionsMethod 2:
You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.
If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.
