If we have music that you don't, is there a way to legally get it to you? In particular, I keep thinking of a Veteran's/Armistice Day selection that I have been collecting.

...I just heard "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker" by Sandi Thom - absolutely brilliant!

I've just discovered the movetonz radio - cool
I can't play it - not so cool

I get this message: The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download.

I'm running Vista & have WMP as default for audio files in CP. Any ideas please?

Ooo thats odd!

I'm on Vista too, so here's something to check:

Go to : Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a File Type or protocol with a program

Check that the file types .mp3 and .m3u are associated with WMP.

If that fails, I can recommend Winamp as an alternative

Checked file associations & they were fine.

However, this morning it decides to work! Windows at its best

I was starting to wonder if MB had competition from Keeweegal as Queen of Technical Difficulties, but her problem cleared up much too easily.

WG, how are you set for Kiwi-grown music? That would be interesting to hear.

Taffy!!

Did you just call my name in husky tones on the radio or am I on the verge of a nervous breakdown? I'll swear I heard your voice saying 'Mother Bear'. Oh God, I hope I'm not hearing voices now. A mother shouldn't have to go through this at her time of life - not without prior warning, anyway.

Oh thank God for that. I've got the radio down quite low so as not to disturb the neighbours and the voice was a bit spooky, so you can imagine my thoughts.

So, no need to rush to the psychiatrist yet then. I'll get on with something more mundane like throwing the hoover around.
