Problem: Streaming mp3s to Pocket PC

For a while I've had some of my music accessible over the internet and I play it at my friends' house where they have older computers with smaller capacity.

This is how the internet access is setup
1) the file server is running XP Pro with IIS v5 as the webserver
2) I have a "media" folder that is shared within the my home network
3) That same folder is also shared on the IIS webserver (Read-only + Directory Browsing)
4) I forwarded port 80 to the file server in my router
5) I setup an account at dyndns.org (example: myserver.dydns.org)


So if I want to play my music on any computer I browse to http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/ and I get a list of my music folder (categorized as genre/artist/album/01 filename.mp3), for example, if I want to play a specific song, I could browse to http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3

Here is my problem: I can not play my mp3s on WM5

* If I browse to a file, I only get the option to download the mp3
* If I open Windows Media Player , click on Menu > Library, then click on Menu > OpenUrl, then type the url "http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3", I get the error message:

"Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play"

I also have m3u playlists setup in the Media folder. Some have relative urls to the files (for example: ../music/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3) while others have the absolute url (e.g. http://myserver.dyndns.org/media/genre/artist/album/01 Title.mp3) . Both play with no problems on the desktop version of WMP, but they will not play on the Mobile version.

After searching the web, I found out that WMM natives supports playlists in the asx format, so I created asx files which WMM loads automatically from the browser but throws the error message:

"Cannot play any items in the playlist. For additional information, on the Now Playing screen, select an item, and then press Menu > Error Details."

Tryn to see if someone can help me resolve this
