It seems that ,at least for me that WMP 9 has numerous problems with playing to fast,broken audio,and all and all just doesn't play well.I have never had a problem with Real player or quicktime.Seems to me that microsoft could stand to learn something about making reliable products from these companies.So my question is which old version of WMP does the majority of this fine group think i should download.Thanx in advance.

If you go to the control panel/add remove programs...select Windows media player 9, and uninstall it, you'll revert back to the previous version on your machine.

Version 7.1 will do much of what you wanted from 9.0. I believe it is still available from their site, or if it is not, you know how to contact me. TIP: For anyone running Windows 95 OSR2, 7.1 should work with that too, no matter what MS claim to the contrary. Leastways I got it to work perfectly with mine, and on an old P166 MMX machine too. :)

You can get WMP 7.1 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp As for Windows 95, I've always thought that it would probably run without a problem, but Microsoft wouldn't let it because they want people to upgrade... How did you get it to work? When I tried installing it, it tells me it can't continues because I'm using an unsupported version of Windows, or something like that...

Sounds like you may have a corrupted install. I play mp3s across a network using Win 2000 and an old PII 350 w 128 MB RAM with subwoofer and stereo speakers and WMP9 with abosulutely no problems. My sound files are stored remotely (I know, it's geeky - but look at the forum!) and play just fine through a routered network.

Thanks for the input peeps.I have installed and reinstalled WMP 9 several times and gotten the same result everytime.So now i will go to http://www.oldversion.com and download WMP 7.1.They have old versions of a lot of programs you probably would be suprised.Thanx....you guys Rock!!!
