My computer won't play .mp3 links?

Question

Whenever I go to a link that leads me to a .mp3 page it is just a blank page that never loads. I am using Internet Exploror 7 and am a bit lost on this. If anyone could help, that would be great!

Answer 1

Switch to Mozilla Firefox. I switched like half a year ago, and its great, it runs faster, takes up less ram, starts quicker, and is more customizable. And it does almost everything internet does. But if something is not available for Firefox then just copy the link into internet explorer, thats what i do..

Answer 2

Try right-clicking on the file and see if it is a direct link to an mp3 in which case you can save the file to your harddrive or it may be redirectig you to another webpage that is either getting a pop-up that you're blocking or something else...
with me so far?

Check out www.winamp.com this is a great mp3 player and they have a free version. If the file does download to your harddrive try opening it with winamp... you can drag and drop on the winamp icon... you can right-click on the file and choose open with... and select winamp and check the box to use winamp always.

If the file doesn't download and wants to redirect.. you can open winamp first, click file > open location... and see if you can open the location from within winamp.

Hope that helps!

You might need to buy a special program that plays mp3s.

Answer 5

right-click the link, click save target as, and then save it somewhere
afterwards, play it using whatever music player you have
