Downloaded a few mp3's off kazza and when I try and play them in any Audio player as well as the previewer in kazza whilst still downloading i get no sound and a web page pops up with this..

I have just re-formatted BTW.

Do a search on this topic. Someone recently had the same question but I forgot what to do to resolve this issue.

Indeed. Files were name song.mp3.wma and my column width was hiding the .wma part of the file name so I did not notice. I will be deleting them as .wma is crap M$ shit.

btw clicking migrate license does nothing to your system, and lets you listen to the songs.
