are you downloading it or viewing it off the site? try downloading it to your computer, and if it doesnt work, download it anyways to save bandwidth

hey midwest, I have had similar problems. Usually,that is due to not having the right codex file for your winamp. Codex pretty much is a translator (i guess you could call it) between some types of media. I can't remember the site unfortunately :( to get those from...but search around for codex d/l
