After it's installed then you need sometype of software to play it.

You could try windows media player.

You will probably need to install codecs.

You could also just try a free player. I think one that is highly recommended is vlc. http://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Pl...-10717934.html

I like jet audio: http://www.download.com/JetAudio-Bas...html?tag=lst-1

I'd suggest VLC. That's the only player that's shown any consistency and had all the codecs built in.

I will say, that I have yet to find a format that jet audio hasn't been able to play.
