I seem to remember that this was a sort of marketing ploy.

You run it while you're logged on, then while you watch it you are subjected to all manner of sublime advertising.

I think that's how it works.

In days of old they only worked after you had sent a mobile phone text message that included your house number and post code. You would receive a 'password' code by return (sometimes at a premium rate).

You would then be deluged with junk mail cascading through your letter box.

I only ask because most users think that codecs only apply to video.

However, since some video files are effectively a 'mini database' containing similar files [video and audio], the Codec Packs have an influence on the system compatibility for both forms of media.

Google for [b]codec pack[/b] and install one of them, then see how you go.
