Hi --

Does anyone know WHAT the differene is in preparing media files (even audio only) for windows media player/[the appalling] real player/ quik time / GENERIC -- which too many people are NOT doing to my mind since windows media player craps me out, I dislike real player and quicktime...............

Is there a media-player-sniffer anyone knows of?

Well if you embed audio it's going to use the computers default audio player...

If you looking to add audio why not go with the simplest choice of MP3 or wav.

Your best bet is simply to provide the media, make sure your server sends the correct content type and let the user's configuration do the rest.

That's what I thought -- though I see a lot of places I'm visiting aren't DOING that so I thought maybe there was some reason for it other than a kind of wilfullness.

Thanks!
