My PC at work still has WinNT on it, which comes with Media Player 4.0 (SP6). I can't get it to stream audio samples from places like amazon.com, bestbuy.com, etc.
For example, from this page, when I try to play a track (.asx file), and it asks what I want to do, I select open and get the Open With apps list, I select mplay32, and get this error message:
Cannot determine the device type from the given filename extension.
I get the same error trying to play a WMP sample from amazon.com.
If this version is too old, what's the oldest version I could use, considering they're less bloated and intrusive than the newer versions? I have to watch what I isntall on this PC (not supposed to install anything). I've also tried Irfanview, but get an "Cant read file header. Unknown file format" error.
