I'm on an older computer with Windows XP, if that makes a difference.

The two buttons both seem to open a .asf file. Opera is set to use the
Windows Media Player Plug-In DLL, but that opens up the program I have
for MP4 files. (Unsurprisingly, since somewhere along the way it set
itself to be the default for .asf files.) That program doesn't seem to
be handling .asf audio and when I try to select the DLL for it, which
claims to be in the same folder as Winamp, the program crashes.
I tried selecting the option in Opera to open the .asf file directly in
Winamp (no audio, and it cleared the cache of queued files) and then in
Windows Media Player, which tells me I don't have the proper codec.
Trying to open it directly in Opera yielded a three or four-line text
file.
I presume the problem here isn't with Opera, but with not having the
right DLL or coded, but I have absolutely no idea where to go about
finding the proper codec. (Well, other than doing a google search,
which has only left me more confused.) SO I figured I'd start out by
asking whether other Opera users can get the asf file to play.
OT, but this is one of the many reasons I hate hate hate streaming audio
and would much rather download stuff and play it when I'd like.
Unfortunately, the site I mentioned stopped updating their audio on
demand downloads a week ago. :-(
