Not that this is what you wanted to hear, but they work fine for me... I
just pulled both of the MP3's from the NEWS page (Dave Fulton's piece and
the 410 demo) and they opened right up in WinAMP under Windows NT.

They're both done as MPEG 1.0 Layer 3, at 128kbs and 44.1khz.


Maybe the problem is with the MIME encoding? What happens if you
SHIFT_CLICK to force the files down raw, and then load 'em up? Are they
possibly coming down as ASCII encoded, and thus need to be uncooked?

Just as a test to see if it's Paul's hosting service, can you use any of
the files from here?
