What are asx files?

[PretendHer]

Got an e-mail from a friend with an asx file attachment and am having trouble opening it after saving. Any suggestions?

I thought it was a music file but can't open with mediaplayer.

ASX is just a text file used to redirect you to a Windows media server and port number for the material. If you open it in notepad you might see where he was trying to direct you to or you can just try opening it in Internet Explorer.
