    Hi, my friend got a Macbook the other day and he has a problem. He listens to this online spanish radio and when he opens it it gives him an error message.

    It contains this "application/x - mplayer2" It also says that the radio station is MIME type and it cant read it.

    What program will run it? Usually on his PC windows media player worked, but downloading media player safari wont open it because it isnt a recognized file.

    I think you have to download a quicktime codec called flip4mac. You can find it in the apple.com downloads section. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

    I had the same problem using safari, after I installed it I didn't get the error message anymore.
