I'm getting the message: C:\Users\Jane\AppData\Local\Temp\topics_politics_intermediate-11.mp3 could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

At first I thought it was a broken file, but then realised it was all MP3s. The same MP3 downloads fine in Internet Explorer. Thanks.

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?

You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

Yes, thanks, I do, but I'm not playing, just downloading - or not, as the case may be....
