IE 6, and mp3-playing problem

Whenever I click on some websites that have .mp3 downloads for let's say samples like kick drums or snares, It just pops up a window and has a picture of a 'picture' loading but never loads and stays there. While I download the waves fine but mp3s won't either play or download directly, unless I right click, save as. But I'd rather directly play than just download. Any solution? Thanks

I've tried using Quicktime, downloaded it but never worked. I also got the latest Winmedia player.

Go into the advanced settings in Options... under Tools, and find the bit about Multimedia and make sure that the 2nd to 9th boxes are ticked. That should solve it. That way when you want to play an mp3 it will open the media window and start to play it.
