Title: Newbie with a question
Post by: alex_pato_ on March 01, 2012, 03:31:03 pm

I need to find out if I'm the only that can't seem to play the mp3 files I downloaded.

IGCSE -> French(2nd Language) -> CIE -> download link for mp3s and wmas. None of them seem to work on even VLC player. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry for the abrupt intro ... in a bit of a hurry :p

The files are about 42 - 47 KB. Which, looking from modern-day .mp3s (3 minute song ~ 3MB :p) should make it a 3 second mp3. Don't know how accurate my calculations are, but I suppose we're looking at mp3s not more than 10 seconds long, from the download link. So I'm guessing the files uploaded for download are not the right ones.

Thanks for your feedback.
