I don't think it's even necessary to do this. As long as the user has
a version of Windows Media Player installed on their system that
supports mp3 playback, you should be just fine using a player object
like you do on the Mac side. This is how my company's software works,
and we have had no problems at all.
So I would recommend just using a player object like normal and then
test the heck out of it. But I really think you'll be okay. Unless
you need to support Windows 95 for some odd reason. Then you may run
into problems. Not sure if there's a version of WMP for Win95 that
supports mp3 playback or not.

OK, testing for a net connection, downloading and parsing the RSS
2.0 feed
getting the most recent episode, parsing the URL for the actual
media file
that's all a cake walk...very simple...
it's back to the problem of playing the media...
on the Mac you just start playing it in a player and you are done.
But, for windows, if you don't want to force the user to
install QT, What options do we have?
Download somesoundfile.mp3 file
If platform is Windows
start playing someFooAudioFile.mp3 using the default mp3 player
end if
Does anyone have code for this? We are not looking for anything
more than
the capacity to play .mp3 files in this scenario.
