I click on the ''play file icon'' or ''play current playlist'' but the file(s) doesn't start to play (or the files start to play in the wrong music-player).
This error can occur because of a number of circumstances:
<-- Back to the F.A.Q mainpage
No file starts to play when you click this icon:
1. You don't have a suitable music-player installed.
Try to install for example Winamp.
2. The application you want to use for playing files is not mapped up for playing .m3u-files.
If you are using winamp there is a very simple way to solve this:
Open Winamp Go to Options -> Preferences
Go to Setup -> File types Make sure that m3u is selected in the list. Click Close
3. You don't have access to the file.
You might not have access to the file in question at all. For example if the file was mapped as a local file (c:\file.mp3) and you are on a remote computer without having the correct replacement rules set up.
Or if you are using network shares windows 95 machines might have problems to access a windows 2000 share due to differences in the sharing techniques. If you think this might be the cause, hover over one of your search-results and the full path should be visible.
