Doesn't work. I have a Mozilla browser with the Windows Media Player plugin. Also, if I try to save the target link it is considered a text document rather than an MPEG.

Try a Real player. I don't know if it will work, but it might.

Many old web sites provide Media files with a "plain/text" MIME type, or label. That appears to be the case here. The problem is with the web designer.

Mozilla has recently created a workaround to this problem. In current versions of Mozilla (1.7alpha and after) you can see it no problem, I think.

For any version of Mozilla, right-click once on the link. The context menu will come up. Select "save link target as" and save it to a local folder. Then open it up with Windows Media Player directly.

Try using IE if you have it on your machine. You can copy and past the page location.

Otherwise save it (using Save As), Windows will treat it like text, just make sure the file extension stays ".wmv". When you go to run the file it will grab Windows Media Player and run it properly.
