Jacque,

Are you talking about playing MP3 in a player object on systems  
without QuickTime?  If the system doesn't have QT installed the you  
are using MCI.  Whether or not MP3 will play depends on if an MCI- 
compatible CODEC is installed.  WMP 7.0 installs an MP3 CODEC which I  
believe is MCI-compatible.  Version 2 of ActiveMovie supports MP3 and  
has a driver that MCI can use.  Win 95 OSR2 included this.  Based on  
some stuff I read you may have to manually add the ActiveMovie MCI  
driver to get it working though.  I haven't tested this as all of my  
apps require QT.  The above is just based off of what I have  
researched on the web.
