Windows media player 7 no longer plays mp3 files? -

I have Windows 2000 with window media player 7. It used to play mp3 files, but now it says the file is either damaged or corrupt.

yeah you are wayyyyyy behind in your version of Windows Media Player. Go to http://www.windowsmedia.com to upgrade and it will most likely fix the problem. If not then you can go from there

Well you can probably update it to Windows Media Player 11
