Plugin for WMA format files.

[‡»ß¤®ñ 2B Wî£Ð«‡]

Ok here is my problem.
I made a HTML page and put a background music in it using <bgsound Src="filename.wma" loop="Infinite">. Now the problem is that I can't hear that music. Path is correct and that file isn't corrupted too. I know alot about HTML so it also means that I am not messing with my tags. I think that I need codecs for WMA file format. Because the browser is playing mp3/midi files but not WMA. I am using Windows 98 SE and have installed many codecs (including Windows media player 8 codecs, Divx pro codecs). But still I couldn't figure out what am I missing. I just want the WMA file to work in that <bgsound> tag.
Hope you hear all of you soon.
Regards.

thats actually supposed to work, here a working example:

<BGSOUND balance=0 loop=infinite src="951214.pe.kr/22partEnding.wma" volume=0 AUTOSTART="TRUE">

When I went to the link directly I could ask windows for help, maybe heres something that might help you:

To change Media bar settings

In Internet Explorer, click Media on the toolbar to open the Media bar.
Click Media Options, point to Settings, and then click the settings you want to turn on or off. A check mark next to a setting indicates that the setting is turned on.
Click this To do this
Play web media in the bar Automatically play digital media files opened from Internet Explorer in the Media Bar instead of the default player.
Ask for preferred types Be prompted when you try to open a media file from the Web by being asked if you want to open that file in the Media bar. When you open a file in the Media bar, the file type for the file is saved. If the Remember my preference check box is selected, when you open a file with that file type again, it will be opened in the Media bar.
Reset preferred types Clear the list of file types that automatically open in the Media bar.

ps I think thats a Japanese song or something lol

Nop It wasn't that problem. Anyway problem is fixed. I was missing some codecs and I downloaded the WMA Nero Plugin, installed it and presto
Those Media player 8 codecs are for Windows 98 ;D not for Xp. I don't know much about them but they say Windows Media Player 8 Codecs.exe.
Thanks alot for your help
