This url (or any streaming mp3) cannot be played by my windows media player : 

http://mp3.streampower.be/radio1-mid.mp3

It can be played however in for instance VLC.

The problem is that I want to listen to some streams on a website with in flash embedded windows media player, where the URL is not visible. Since I cannot choose the player, I have no access to to the stream..

This url works pretty well on my windows media player.

It might be a codec problem.
VLC won't encounter these problems since it uses its own codecs (not those of WMP).

I suggest that you uninstall all codecs on your computer, then install K-Lite Codec Pack.

If you want to verify which codecs are still installed, use InstalledCodec.

I will try that – Peter Oct 29 '09 at 11:25
K-Lite Codec Pack is not even installed, but before installing, it worned me about some audioproblem on my PC and offered to fix it. Now all works back.. tx man – Peter Oct 29 '09 at 11:33
