I cannot listen to radio station WYSL 1040 AM on the web. They say that the default player on my browser must be the Windows Media player. How do I comply with their demand?

Chosen solution

In Firefox it is the MIME type that determines which player is selected.

Install the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll), you only have the classic WMP plugin (Npdsplay dll)
