Windows Media Player and MIME

Hi there. So I want to listen to Star987 online, but now I can't. It says that I don't have MIME type application/x-mplayer2. Where the heck do I get that? Actually, I have a new PB so I am starting to think that its that I don't have Windows Media Player. Something that I need for other things. Now here comes my second problem, I downloaded WMP and now all I see on my descktop is a piece of paper with an edge folded and underneath it says Windows Media.sitx, when I click on it, its says to choose an application to open it with, so which do I choose?

Star 98.7 FM play in my Windows Media Player 9

.SITX is a compressed file that needs Stuffit ( http://www.stuffit.com/compression/sitxformat.html ) or a similarly capable expander

I'm in the same situation. I down loaded Media Player 9.0 but can't open it. I've down loaded stuffit but it won't open either. As soon as I double click on it it "unexpectedly shuts down." Any tips? I need to listen to some hockey. Thanks.

then try to expand the media player installation package also make sure you have os 10.4.2 installed or it won't work

Thank you some much Robbie and John. Stuffit worked and now I can pretend that I am back in LA.

I am also proud of myself with connecting the MIME thing with not having Windows Media Player when nowhere on the STAR98.7 website does it say to have it.

Anyway, thanks again.
