Hi Mike
Renaming it to .aac made no difference...Winamp still refuses it
Podcast  works fine,I can't save it (No Save Target option) but what the
heck, I can listen in real time OK
I've saved a shortcut to the page for future use.

TYVM indeed!

rider... I just associatrd .aac files with *Quicktime*
This works a treat so I guess *Winamp* is missing a codec.

Hi all
I've got an annoying problem.

I have downloaded *Digital_Planet_-_22_02_2011_p00dt2rc_default.mp3* from BBC World Service.
The file is 12.1MB.
When I double click the file, it appears to open normally (as mp3's should) with *Winamp* but nothing plays.
No Digital Planet MP3 files ever play....
Every other Mp3 file that I download (from Radio 4) with get_iplayer <x's fingers> works fine!

What is going on here?

I am downloading with Webpvr Manager and using WindowsXP Pro.

Roger,
Maybe it is actually an aac file?
so you could try renaming it to .aac
I had to do this for a while... but files are now real mp3s with no changes from me.

Alternatively, it is available as an mp3 podcast download here:

Cheers,
Mike
