    solargame, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP!
    1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
    4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

    Here we go.. Windoze media player will play most everything IF you have the right codecs installed. (the only things I ever had troubles with were the ancient xa and vox formats) Lurking on the internet is a set of every codec known to man for the xbox media centre, it's worth grabbing, but I can't link to it anymore because..well, various reasons.... If a format exists "in the wild" so to speak there will be a codec for it. Theres also a pack called something like "The mega codec pack for XP" which has most a/v codecs (it's lacking shn, but who uses that?)
    usually a few minutes with google for an unknown file extension or media format will uncover which codecs you need and where to get them from..

    Heres a link to a codec installer..use some caution, I have no way to check or test this download for any windows virus/spyware..use at your own risk..

    (edit)..looks pretty safe, it's in a reasonable windows .exe format and headers etc. are all present and correct. Seems to be MS originated. But no guarantees of clean and safe.

    BTW.. What is a "zune"?..never heard of it..
