Hi Matthew,
 
Unfortunately there isn't a standard music format guaranteed to work on all 
platforms/operating systems of whatever age. If there was everyone would use 
it!  This problem of formats, versions and compatibility applies to virtually 
everything on a computer.
 
M3U is a flexible solution that doesn't impose a media player on the user but 
fires up the user's own default player for M3U/MP3 files. Furthermore it allows 
(pseudo) streaming of those files so that the media player starts playing the 
track as soon as enough of it has buffered.
 
As far as Windows Media Player is concerned, according to Microsoft M3U is 
supported from versions 7 onwards (we're now up to version 11). MP3 itself is 
only supported from version 7 onwards so if they can't play M3U they won't be 
able to play MP3 anyway!  Version 7 has been around since the year 2000 so it 
would interesting to know what version your recipient is using and what (if 
any) error messages are being reported.
 
In any event, I would recommended that your recipient upgrade their version of 
Windows Media Player (and make it the default player for MP3 and M3U files). 
For Windows XP, it can be downloaded from:

Can't play the M3U file format. What is it? Some kind of MP3 file?
