I think if its some music, you could right click the file and go to open with and find notepad (be sure the checkbox to always use this to open the file is NOT checked) and you will discover an ASCII file with probably an URL for the music if Windows Media Player will not play it directly. It was just a suggestion, not guaranteed, but playlist files are often like that.
