Any thoughts on why it won't work in SeaMonkey. Here also is what 
appears in about plugins on my PC:

Hi,

Found the answer me thinks...after much searching.

"If you came here wondering how to make Firefox use the Windows Media 
Player plugin play a specific file type instead of Quicktime, then you 
should know that the WMP plugin is hard-coded to only play the 
proprietary Microsoft formats (.asf, .asx, .wm, .wma, .wax, .wmv, and 
.wvx), and Windows Media Player provides no provision for changing this. 
For the most common formats found on the web (like mp3, midi, mpg, wav, 
etc.) you will need to install and configure Quicktime or Quicktime 
Alternative."


I found it on http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213

I just find it hard to believe that Microsoft would go to all the 
trouble to produce a plugin for FireFox and not include the most 
commonly used audio extensions... Oh well!

Hi,

Wasn't sure I should add my question to the thread above, so I'll 
start a new one. I have the new FireFox plugin installed and it 
appears to work fine when I test it on the site: 
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/wmp9.html.

I have Media Player 11 installed...

The problem I'm having is with my Dad's website and a piece of 
javascript I am trying to use that plays daily mp3's... The script 
works fine in IE... and in fact works fine on his PC as he has 
Quicktime installed. I don't have Quicktime and would prefer to use 
the Media player plugin.

John,

I clicked on the above web site and the home page automatically played 
the background music file.  I checked the Music page and noticed all the 
music files are either .midi or .mp3 files.  Your WMP is not set up to 
play those file formats.


I clicked on one file from the Music page and my Crescendo mp3 player 
plugin opened an played the song.


Michael


Hi Michael,

I checked Windows Media Player and MP3 is selected as on of the file 
types. I have midi unchecked because I still use Crescendo for that..


When I click on a MP3 links on Dad's music page - 
http://www.songsofpraiseandworship.org/musicministry/our_music.html

Windows Media Player starts right up? That has always worked...

Are you using the FireFox Plugin?

I'm still thinking it has something to do with the javascript, although 
that doesn't explain why it works in IE? Or could it be that there are 
lines missing in Microsoft® Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin in about 
Plug-Ins...eg


audio/x-ms-m3u m3u,* Yes
audio/x-ms-mp3 mp3,* Yes

I don't know, I just know enough about javascript to barely get by.
