I downloaded the Henty audiobook mentioned the other day, and was so excited to play it during lunch. But it won't play! It unzipped (no problem there), and I can *see* all the chapters, but they won't play. Am I missing some important piece of software? Not hitting the right button? Not holding my tongue at the right angle? Can anyone help me w/ this?

I get no error message or anything that might indicate what the problem is. It's a bit like trying to get a cat to follow instructions: I get ignored.

What is the file extension?

look on your side bar and see if it offers that. I had the same problem with my Latin downloads. Somehow it also unzips if you copy the file to your desktop.

downloaded it and put it in Windows media and we can listen to it fine from there.
Maybe you need to do something similar?
I would never have known to do that-he did it without consulting me and that was probably a good idea:001_rolleyes:

Perhaps you can try this link:

We already owned the audio book, so I didn't try downloading it.

I am downloading it right now and will let you know how it goes for me.

I clicked on the "Lee" folder which I had downloaded to my desktop. Then I clicked on the subfolder "Lee", then the subfolder "Ch 1."

Windows media opened on my computer and Ch 1 began playing.

Perhaps Windows Media is not your default player?
