When selecting an mp3 file in Windows Explorer (in win2000 anyway) it pops up WMP in the web view portion of the window and lets you play it. I have been expirimenting with ogg media and it doesn't pop up for them. Does anyone know how to change it so that it will?

Thanks,

PS Not sure if this is the forum to ask, but seems like the best option.

The basic solution is use a java pluging-player: http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/the download file is arround 350k but the aplet is less than 90K. and this work on any sintem with JVM.

Hold the Shift key while right-clicking the ogg media file, then select "Open With". Choose WMP from the list and check the "always open blabla" option.
