Except the default app to open Mp3 files on my PC is Windows Media Player. BTW, I don't believe there is much to be gained by "zipping" or otherwise compressing an Mp3 file, because an Mp3 file is already about as compressed as it can get. In this case, for example, I think zipping the file compressed it by only another 20k. Moreover, I think some browsers are configured to hand off an Mp3 link to Windows Media Plyer or Quicktime on the fly...

Steve Quann NELRC / World Education 44 Farnsworth Street Boston, MA 617.482.9485 >>> bjteach@ameritech.net 05/06/03 10:14AM >>> I could not get this to open. I tried it on a DSL connection and a phone line neither of which would open. It looks like you must have an MP3 player installed on your system. Many students do not have DSL or cable connections and these large files make it difficult for them to use the systems at home.
